You can hear for yourself at IT Conversations 
(http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail220.html). Part two has a 
short interview segment at the end with Doug Gilmore. And here's the 
link to Woz's more interesting speech 
(http://www.itconversations.com/shows/detail214.html).

IT conversations + iPod: makes going to the gym more bearable.

Yeah, the IT Conversations guys were great.  I think they streamed and
archived the entire conference.  I haven't listened to any of the streams
since I heard everything live, however I might get Woz's talk to listen to
again.

Now that would make it be just like a book on tape (Wil's talk at least). ;)

So, did anyone go to B&N last night?

I went, and had a pretty good time. His impression
of it is on his blog at http://www.wilwheaton.net, and
it was pretty much as he said, it was funny hearing him
trying to edit out curse words on the fly whilst
reading from his book :) Definitely worth the
price of admission...wait, there was no price of admission...so I
can't complain :-)

But really, he is a entertaining guy, so it was well worth it
to me to make the short drive up to HB.

You probably already know about
this, but it's that time of year again when we get a
module with a mini-tutorial every day until the 25th:
