  2. Holy awesomeness! Can’t wait to see the video, hope it’s iPad-friendly because I’m not getting out of bed to fire up the PC at this hour . . .

  3. The HD link worked, great stuff! YouTube reported the first link above as not available, though- is the compilation video link a different video?
