Ignite Show - Sort of TED on Speed (but less serious)

http://ignite.oreilly.com/show/
//Ignite captures the best of geek culture in a series of five-minute speed presentations on topics ranging from The Best Way to Buy a Car to Hacking Chocolate. Imagine that you're on stage in front of an audience of hundreds of people, doing a five-minute presentation using a slide deck that auto-forwards every 15 seconds, whether you're ready or not. What would you do? What would you say? Could you stand the pressure? Every week, find out how some of the smartest minds on the planet dealt with this situation as your host, Brady Forrest, highlights a different talk from Ignites around the world.//

  2. For obvious reasons, I really wanted to watch the Heather Knight bit (c'mon, she's the only pretty girl featured), but I decided to ignore prurience and watched Jeff Veen's presentation instead. I have to admit to being impressed with the entire shebang, pictures and words. I'll bookmark this site.
