That would be great Drew!

Perhaps at a minimum we should create a screencasts wiki page where we can
list and document screencasts about microformats, similar to how we have a
podcasts page:

 http://microformats.org/wiki/podcasts

 http://microformats.org/wiki/screencasts

I just started the screencasts page and added a link to the first
microformats screencast I saw, which was Les Orchard's impressive
Greasemonkey script version of the hCalendar creator which allowed you to
easily add an hCalendar event into any TEXTAREA (e.g. in MovableType or
WordPress).

If anyone knows offhand where the LiveClipboard screencasts are that
demonstrate copy/paste of hCard and hCalendar, please add those to the page!

Thanks,
