Very informative and relevant. I wish the slides synced better with the presentation, however!

I had already listened to Obie's great RoR podcast and I was so looking forward to seeing the financial organization's dsl code instead of having to imagine it. Then, no slide transition and thus code :(
Is there a full soft copy of the sides somewhere so I can manually go from slide to slide and get the full content?
Is it possible some of the slides are removed for confidentiality reasons? Even if this is the case some of the missing slides do not fall into that category, e.g. the favs xml.

If you want to see a better way to record presentations go to rubyhoedown2007.confreaks.com and see how they record both the presenter and the presentation.
And FYI they are going to RubyConf 2007, so if you can't make it they will have the video for free under the creative-commons license.
