Let me second the request for a video pass. I would love instant access to some of the talks. I would actually love to attend a StrangeLoop but so far that hasn't been in the cards.
The videos are filmed and released as a partnership between Strange Loop and InfoQ. Strange Loop gets excellent videographers, professional gear (hardware screen capture devices), and on-site editing for early access release for very low cost and virtually no work. InfoQ gets eyeballs to their site. Attendees get draft videos available within days after the conference. Non-attendees get free access to almost all of the content from the conference (at a delay). Minor nits aside, this is from my perspective a win for everyone.
Part of this equation is that InfoQ wants to receive those eyeballs by dribbling out content over many months. This slow release is also a useful marketing tool for the conference (although this is less essential than in the past).
