   Format: MarkdownItexI am trying to watch the video * [David Ayala: Higher categories are sheaves on manifolds](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nm2ByS5NnY) (as referenced [here](http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/%28infinity%2Cn%29-category+with+adjoints#References)) but it keeps stopping and crashing on my machine. So I have only seen bits and pieces of the frist 34 minutes so far. If anyone can watch / has watched the full thing (I can see at least one contributor here sitting in the audience of the talk :-) and feels like writing out a brief sketch of the main constructions in an entry _[[(infinity,n)-categories as sheaves on manifolds]]_ that would be much appreciated.
