the NCG blog has various interesting stuff
one thing was this link to a 4 minute talk by David Hilbert
http://math.sfsu.edu/smith/Documents/HilbertRadio/HilbertRadio.mp3
wide audience, nontechnical

here's NCG blog
http://noncommutativegeometry.blogspot.com/

and the brief post about Hilbert
http://noncommutativegeometry.blogspot.com/2007/09/wir-mssen-wissen-wir-werden-wissen.html

they also give a link to ENGLISH TRANSLATION of the text
http://math.sfsu.edu/smith/Documents/HilbertRadio/HilbertRadio.pdf
at the same San Francisco State University website.

the NCG people are doing pretty well about getting stuff on the web. Alain Connes 1994 book Noncommutative Geometry is free for download at his website, for example.

Yeah I saw the mp3 of Hilbert a couple days ago. It kind of odd hearing him speak. Made him a little more human if you know what I mean.
