Awesome! Blogged it (see my namelink).

I think it’s fascinating that Chris did an end-run around the perceived bureaucracy of our API signup process, and that the RSS and embed codes we provide were powerful enough for him to do so. Way to stick it to the man! ;->

I think I can top that with an old library I wrote (not in appearence though, I never bothered to create an interface to actually control the slideshow):

This will fade smoothly between slides when JS is available, but when it isn’t, you don’t just end up with a bunch of links. Instead all slides are wrapped into a single box and you can simply scroll through them inside that box.
