I found this scouring GitHub (as no other links worked), therefore I can't presume that it hasn't been altered. It looks intact.

Apparently "that blip has sailed" -- the blip.tv link mentioned in the gist doesn't work. Try this youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dGVqrGmwOAw -- it has the title "Clojure Concurrency - Rich Hickey"
