Awesome Stephen, thanks for sharing 
You're welcome.
I now see there is a Youtube version of the same video now as well:

I was looking to see if I could see the firstbits for the 8.846 BTC transaction so that I could see how much fee was paid.
That would be a good comparison ... since the restaurant takes credit card as well, how much was saved by the restaurant for accepting bitcoins versus VISA/Mastercard/AMEX.

0% fees?
Oh my.
Oh my.
next thing you know: sushi place is full of mining pool operators.

I think the transaction had 0 fees

Kashmir's Forbes photo doesn't do her justice. She's got a Tea Leoni's dark eyed sister thing going on.
