Enjoyed your MI talk today, which I found both the crispest and the densest (multum in parvo) of the whole lot.
Any chance you could make the text of your talk available? Or failing that, even just the slides?
Thanks.

Thanks! A formal polished version with footnotes should appear at the MI site within two weeks (as I understand.)
I recorded my own audio, so I may put that overtop my powerpoint at put it here at the blog.
