[Discuss] videos of people using software

Like a woodworker, every once in a while I try to revisit and
"cleanup" my toolbox to determine if there are things that are
obsolete that need to be "thrown out", others that need to be added,
and many that need fine-tuning. It is also a time in which I tend to
experiment with tools that people have recommended to me (or that I
have seen others using).


During this process I discovered videos of people showing off
tools. They are not tutorials. But they entice me to try their tools,
and show what you can do with the tool is you become skillful.

It is like watching Norm Abram (The New Yankee Workshop) working with
his state of the art tools (which I'll probably never own). The
difference is that in the open source world, I can own those tools :)

Take a loot at this as an example:
