A bit egotistical, but no wonder as many people treat him like some sort of messiah. You'll note a lack of links to ArsDigita on his websites, now that he is no longer in charge of that operation. Apparently, his qualities that make him a web celebrity did not translate into management skills. The company still seems to be doing alright in his absence, as he never had a technical role with the company.
His photo.net website still kicks ass, though.
update Jan 2003 - gnosis tells me ArsDigita crashed and burned a year ago...
