I am honored to be the 2006 recipient of the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Computer and Cognitive Science. Among the activities at the ceremonial week was a symposium and a very nice video that summarized my approach to design.
These are now available on the Franklin Institute website:

NOTE: The original award statement is no longer available on the Franklin Institute website. However, information on the award I received, and the the video (YouTube) are still available.
