At the Portuguese Perl Workshop, José Castro is making people do "Improvised Lightning Talks". He selects people from the audience (starting with me), shows them a topic they haven't seen in advance, and then gives them 60 seconds to start talking on the subject.
It's going on right now, but I'll update the list.

- Why I Love Braga - nothingmuch
- "I was promised there would be many beautiful women"

- "If you pay attention, it smells a bit like shit"
