I heard "This is Guy Steele standing in for Alan Kay", and I thought it was an obscure joke. I felt exceedingly nerdy for getting the joke. Then I realized it wasn't a joke at all.

I still feel exceedingly nerdy.


Terrible audio, wish I could bear it though. Really wanted to listen.


There's a full, though poor quality, transcript. That's what I ended up using.
