Phil Windley took notes on Alan Kay's talk in Utah. His first talk is one I've seen (although it's evolved, with new events as examples, and the work in Croquet that he speaks to). Here's perhaps the best quote:

The good guys (late binders) lost in the late 70’s. The early binders won.

Good ideas don’t often scale.

Most people who graduate with CS degrees don’t understand the significance of Lisp. Lisp is the most important idea in computer science. Alan’s breakthrough in object oriented programming, wasn’t objects, it was the realizing the the Lisp metasystem was what we needed.
