June 2008, The second task movie
This YouTube movie was made to illustrate some of the features of the task program, back when task 1.0.0 was released. While task has grown significantly since then, the commands shown are still valid. It will soon be time for a new movie!

This movie has a voice-over that explains what is going on.

December 2006, The first task movie
This original YouTube task movie was made to illustrate the features of the then-unreleased task program. The idea was to get some feedback and see whether anyone was interested in a new implementation of todo.sh, that added features that are not easily possible with a shell implementation.

This movie has no voice-over, and you may notice that it exactly duplicates the commands used in the original todo.sh movie (below). That is, until it deviates because of new task commands.
