Anyone care to summarize what this is about? From what I gather these are 30C3 recordings from a CCC-TV website. The recordings have titles like FPGA 101 and Programming FPGAs with PSHDL.. There is no about page and the home page has further topics like, SIGINT13 video release, SIGINT12 video release and 28C3 webm release. I'm confused..

If you want a one line summary, they're similar to TED talks, but much longer and for technical people.

I've been to HOPE conferences in New York, fun but terribly expensive, these look similar but slightly more technical. I'd be interested in a comparison/contrast from people who've been to both HOPE and CCC cons.

The videos and the podcast feed for them can be fed into MIRO which will feed into my mythtv setup so I can watch them all at home. Unfortunately, I prefer listening to audio of conferences in my car, have done that for many years, and video isn't going to work, or at least would be tremendously wasteful. Perhaps there will be mp3 files and a podcast xml feed of them for the CCC presentations sooner or later.

C3 talks come in several varieties. There are hardcore tech talks about actually attacking and exploiting devices (security & safety) and more hardware-oriented talks about building things (hardware & making). Next you have lectures about general science and engineering. On the less technical side there is one track about ethics, society and politics and another one for art & beauty.

Apart from the talks there are usually workshops, special interest groups (knitting, BSDM,...) and dedicated space for socialising and collaborating with others on projects on site.

Which recordings do you recommend? (One per comment.)

If you're into hardware hacking then these are fun (in addition to Bunnie's and the Wii U):

* "Even More Tamagotchis Were Harmed in the Making of this Presentation"http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5279.html

* "My journey into FM-RDS" http://events.ccc.de/congress/2013/Fahrplan/events/5588.html

If you prefer reading text they are also both well written up on their respective blogs.
