4. Very nice.

Is this a speech? How long is it supposed to be? (Wonk, are you recording??)

[Zan_of_Texas]

6. I missed the intro.

I was told yesterday it would run for an hour, but I don't know when the talk was given -- it has to be recent, because of all the references to Clarke.

Thanks for posting it, and for answering my question. (hi:

[Andy_Stephenson]

18. God I love your sig line!

[Wonk]

8. Anyone know if it'll be repeated so I can catch the whole thing?

re: recording now, my AV comp is in use crunching something else at the moment...

[kaitykaity]

11. He's talking like a revolutionary.

Isn't he? Am I misunderstanding what he is saying?

On edit: his line about Clarke's apology gave me a serious chill. My spine tingled. :wow:

12. "Information is all we have, all that can save us from what might happen"

[thebigidea]

I just loved his slicin' of that Perlepal Frum recently...
