Links of interest from February 8 through February 19:

• nakajima/slidedown - GitHub

• atiw003/html5-slides-markdown - GitHub
  Another nice Markdown generator for deck-based presentations, this one in Python. I'm still trying to find the real Keynote Killer. Nothing against Keynote, but if I can Keynote in Markdown…
• adamzap/landslide - GitHub
  This is getting closer, plus you can work Python Markdown Extra into the deal and have some fun. Table of contents, easy transitions and styling through CSS, nice work.
• Totem: A Vertical Ticker jQuery Plugin
  And for the elusive Vertical Scrolling Ticker.
• Cross-format color manager
  Convert color formats and manipulate colors in JavaScript. This class is very full-featured and exactly what I've been looking for. Seemed worth sharing…
• Steve Heller hunts down a Nazi graphics standards manual : Observatory: Design Observer
  I had no idea.
• Simple Domain Name Registrar - iWantMyName
  "Tired of your current domain registrar's ugly, confusing and cluttered website?" Yes, yes I am. Nice, neat registrar, via Patrick Rhone.
