There's also this other video of you guys discussing C++0x which might
be interesting (maybe not relevant to D but anywho):

When Herb gave a talk at NWCPP not long ago about C++0x, Walter's questions
and comments were priceless.
Herb asks "would you expect this [messy-looking but seemingly optimal c++
loop] to be faster, or this [nice clean looking c++0x code that you might
think has lots of overhead]".   Walter raises his hand and says something
like "the c++0x version should definitely be faster".   Herb seems to think
maybe he's just guessing what the punch line is, but Walter follows up with
"Sure, because in the C++0x version you end up using using integer
indexing, which is much easier for the compiler to optimize, while the
'optimal c++' version uses pointers."  That was the right answer.   Could
be me misreading his reaction, but it almost seemed to me like Herb didn't
know why his C++0x code was faster than his C++ code.

Not to put Herb down too much, he did put on a great talk.  He's an
excellent presenter and communicator.

Any new D talks that took place in the last year or so?

I gave a couple of public and private talks (NWCPP/Silicon Valley, 
Riverbed Software) but they weren't recorded.

There are a couple more D-related events next year. One is a summer 
school in Elba in a star-studded company (after you set me aside): 
http://laser.inf.ethz.ch/2012/. There is one more event in Seattle early 
next year that I'm not allowed to make public yet. That doesn't have 
much to do with D, but as of late I can't get to give a talk on much 
without being spontaneously asked about D.

We're mulling over the possibility of a D conference, but this is 
ante-preliminary.

How about audio podcasts??  It might be something more reachable.

Recently I discovered Software Engineering Radio, http://www.se-radio.net/

For example, here is Simon Peyton
Jones<http://research.microsoft.com/%7Esimonpj/>talking about Haskell.
 Pretty good stuff:

Maybe they could do an episode with Walter or you talking about D?
