Video Tutorials

General
Some are discussing doing video tutorials for REBOL
and putting them on video sites like youtube or google video or delivering them
as podcasts via iTunes.
I'm a big advocate of video tutorials, as it's the closest thing to having a professional sitting next to you, showing you all the cool stuff that you might otherwise have had to dig through for hours yourself.
In doing this, there is also some debate over the format: Long? Short? Video resolution? Is audio needed? Who's a good speaker? What should a tutorial be about? Such things are important to consider.
In the meantime, a bit of experimenting with iShowU and Quicktime Pro yielded this little video in OSX. It's encoded in h264 at 640x480.
OSX is great for this kind of stuff, since most of the video features required are already built in.
Sorry for the low framerate, but my 1.25 Ghz PPC apparently doesn't leave room for a better framerate.

Carl Sassenrath Interview

Carl Sassenrath has been interviewed at the Obligement magazine website, and
what an interesting interview it is!
Furthermore, the interview has been mentioned on OSNews and AmigaWorld, spawing a debate on REBOL with a few bits of advocacy thrown in. I'm handing out a few beginner's pointers to the features of REBOL on the AmigaWorld thread. Come join the debate and ask some questions!
