Just wanted to share this link, this talk is based on his recent book which is getting a lot of positive press - The Sense of Style: The Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century.

I haven't had a chance to watch it myself and I'm not sure how long it will be available.

Hint on watching... Skip forwards about 20 minutes to get to the actual talk. I don't have time to watch the whole two-hour thing right now, either, but I absolutely don't have time to watch a lengthy introduction. As the old joke goes, "And now let me introduce a man who needs no introduction..."
