ok, I got issues, but let me hear you all first!

Thanks for your time!
If I knew how to get them all on one vdeo, I would.

You got issues, but not bad. At first I was troubled by your rounded back, but the rounding is really thoracic, not lumbar. As far as I can tell, your lower back stays neutral through all the lifts. Do you have some thoracic kyphosis? It's hard to tell in the videos. Maybe you should work on doing some thoracic extensions (over a foam roller, med ball or PVC pipe), and some of the other things mentioned in the Neanderthal No More articles in T Nation.

When you set up, work on keeping your shoulder blades back and your chest high. Then let your body lean back a little, using the weight of the bar to keep from falling back, and "take the slack out of the bar." KPj described this well in his comment to Ken's DL form check.

i thought that looked pretty good

Yeah, I found the pocket that felt good during my warm-up sets last night. After you've leaned down and grabbed the bar, set your butt back and down a little more to pop your chest out. Should straighten your upper back a bit.

ok, glad we are seeing the same things
Between the 2nd and 3rd videos, I identifed this problem and attempted to fix it but was not recalling how. Your ideas will get me there.
I had not noticed thoracic kyphosis before. For now, I suspect it has more to do with my lever lengths and simply ignorance of proper way to get into position. I was having trouble seeing how I could keep hips down/but not too far down, chest up/ arms straight and back rigid. I'll do as jlmoss was reiterating
