I enjoyed watching these; and you're clearly a huge org-mode evangelist!

I found both videos entertaining, but if you're an org-er already and 
are short on time, then I'd recommend skipping straight to Part 2 (after 
watching Carsten's video of course), where Russell provides a great 
demonstration of how he uses org-mode, and the extent to which he uses it!

Only the second half of Part 1 is about org-mode, with the first being a 
crash course in xargs command.  Part 1 is primarily an enthusiastic 
introduction about how org-mode is one of the few technologies to have 
revolutionised the way Russell works for many years.

I found the relaxed chatty pace and banter both interesting and 
entertaining but others might prefer a more concise demonstration.

Part 2 is definitely the most enthusiastic and convincing demonstration 
of org-mode I've yet seen!  You get the feeling Russell would make a 
good salesman ;-)

I'd love to see others try and top it though,

Great work!

R.
