I've never been inspired to do programming from a video more than when watching Sussman doing the HP SICP lectures with Hal Abelson. You can feel him barely contain his enthusiasm for the subject. Truly infectious and all you need to get a boost in order to plough into the next chapter of SICP :-)

I'd love to see Gerry Sussman's talk from Strangeloop this year, does anyone know if a video is likely to be available at some point?

According to announcements made by Alex at the end of the conf, videos will trickle out slowly but surely on infoq. He hoped the first would be available in a few weeks.

It is definitely worth watching and I suspect worth re-watching many times.

That is correct. I will try to make Gerry's one of the first to go up.

Followed closely by simple made easy please? I've been describing rich's talk as something I will probably carry with me the rest of my life. We talked for 5-6 hours about the concepts he posed after that keynote. I really want to share it with others now that I'm back at the office.

Those are both in the first batch.
