Brian,

There's a link to download the tutorial (which includes the data) at the 
bottom of the page but since the official tutorial site isn't ready yet, 
I have to limit access to the current site (as you'll notice it's 
sitting on a different domain).  The official site will hopefully go up 
sooner than later. ;)
