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.
