The tool for highlighting EXPLAIN output is provided on http://explain.depesz.com/ (as mentioned in a later slide). It's commonly used when asking for help and discussing queries on #postgresql on Freenode.
I love EXPLAIN, it's such an amazing tool for figuring out how to get a query to run faster. It's much more detailed than MySQL's and often one of the reasons I list when people ask if they should checkout/switch to pg (which you should!)

The README on https://github.com/jberkus/jberkus.github.io/tree/master/exp... has instructions to get it running locally
