For some reason on my OSX machine I don't see any logging to the screen like you did on the video. Any way I can send the logging to a file somewhere? ---

Its automatically logged to a file as well (check work/logs). Maybe you don't see it since you run elasticsearch using just the "elasticsearch" script which by default runs it in the background. If you run it with "elasticsearch -f" then it will run in the foreground.
