'Where is this going' is a great question Don and one that I am not sure that 
I have an answer for. Videos are a lot of work (I wish that the ratio was one
hour of work for a minute of video, reality is about 10 hours a minute, if you 
include
scripting and design). 

I also think that when languages such as J do not use a variety
of media, such as video, to distribute their information, they run the risk of 
being perceived as
being behind the times. You and I both know that this is not true and in fact 
many of the
concepts integral to the language are far more advanced than the 'next big 
things', but
perception does carry weight and videos may change the perception for important 
populations. 

I suppose that I am watching to see where the community sees the value of the 
videos. I have 
my own ideas and these experiments reveal a few, but what I find most exciting 
is the
context and the ideas that resonate with the community in ways that I did not 
anticipate. 

What I have now is some time and some tools and a curiosity to see where it 
goes.

Cross posted to chat as I find my thoughts drift from programming.

Cheers, bob
