Richard Reynolds is a planner to admire. I'd heard about his smart, interesting t-shirts a while ago, and ordered a couple, and they're great. And then I heard that he was also doing this, which is one of the best ideas I've heard in a long time and is the complete antithesis of urban spam, and should be a compulsary activity for everyone who ever felt tempted to do some dumb ambient campaign.
And - and this should be useful and instructive for all you junior planners and people looking to find a job - there's something incredibly hire-able about someone like Richard, someone who does stuff, as opposed to the usual planning I-just-think-stuff stereotype, this is a very valuable quality in a planner. (Of course I've never met the man, so he could be a horrible planner, but I very much doubt it.) Visit Guerilla Gardening. Give the man some support.
He's a top man and a top planner

I worked with Richard and he is an excellent planner - and a very interesting guy to have around. Not sure about his predeliction for red cordyline though.

Pretty much the one thing Richard doesn't do well is play Risk.
And even then, he beat me.
