What was the best video/session at Mix 2010?

The videos have been put up for most of the sessions now, I can't watch all of them - so any favourites? any 'must-see's?

A: 

In my opinion Rob Eisenberg's "Build Your Own MVVM Framework" which has gotten a lot of praise. It acknowledges what we've all known - the reason there's so many MVVM frameworks is because we all want our own. But it provides a nice, very light, basic foundation and does not rehash the same old MVVM introductions.

Here's a review and link.
