Yeah just rub it in why don't you.  ;-)

I see a great value in this from a historical standpoint.  Not that 
this ESR talk is going to be earthshattering or new in some way, but 
that our broader community is actually pretty poor at recording events 
or the appearances of our more prominent speakers.  This open source 
revolution has been amazing to watch over the last ten years, and it is 
sad that you don't see much about it on TV today.  The historians of 
the future will curse us for not having much in the way of recorded 
audio/video (and already curse us for the proprietary media formats of 
just 10-20 years ago that cannot be read on modern computers).

Videotaping high profile talks like this and getting the copies widely 
dispersed is the best thing we as individuals can do to preserve the 
moment for future researchers.
