Wow.  As somebody who has given plenty of talks, I can tell you this is an =
awesome checklist (and most of it not specific to PyCon).

Let me add one suggestion -- never, ever, ever, type a URL into a browser c=
onnected to the internet in front of a live audience.  You never know when =
you're going to make a typo and something *totally* not what you expected w=
ill fill the screen.  If you absolutely insist on ignoring the good advice =
about not doing live demos, at least bookmark your urls and click on the bo=
okmark.  DAMHIKT.
