There's lots of good conference videos online regarding Python and Django development.

Instead of watching ST:TNG at the computer, I figure it'd more productive to hone my knowledge . Fire away with some of your most inspiring and educational Python, Django, or simply programming related talks. Provide an explanation of why you found the talk useful.

Examples:

James Bennet on Re-usable Apps - Got me to take a serious look at django apps. Put together a fairly robust site in two days afterwards with django-cms, django-photologue, django-contact-form. Good advice on when your app is crossing boundaries and why it's good to err on the site of 'make it a separate app.'

blip.tv's pycon channel has all talks from Pycon 2009 and (recently concluded) 2010 -- seriously good stuff! Pick your talks from the "episodes archive" pages.

I've found some of the google tech talks on Python or Django very informative. They have quite a few, so doing a search on "Django" or "Python" at the following website might be a good idea.

When I was looking for online Django tutorial videos, I stumbled across http://showmedo.com/learningpaths/20/view. Nice community developed video tutorial site, which lays out step by step approach to learning. Some of the videos are posted 2 or 3 years before, so the material may not be latest. Nevertheless, it may help you with understanding the fundamentals.
