In the last year...
Did you willingly use a:
Prezi
Powerpoint
or Microsoft Word?
Wait...
transitional OpenXML vs. strict OpenXML

We're library people...
...who talk a good game about...

nothing is easier than ascii
It's indexable
portable
will outlast you and me and everyone we know (probably)

HTML is okayiiiiissshhh
Use Markdown!
and it works with
reveal.js
wordpress
tumblr
github
stackoverflow
