Re: Content ideas. Are you talking about something like this?
http://www.youtube.com/user/bsdtutorial (see the earlier videos from 1-2 
years ago)

I could see stuff like this being refreshed and possibly made more 
"lively" (though I have no idea how to achieve the "lively" - I'll come 
clean and admit that video production is way over my head).

I think "how do you use BSD" is a great idea.
