If you are serious about nextgen shader programming, you should have this book next to your pillow! This third volume of the best-selling GPU Gems series provides a snapshot of today’s latest Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) programming techniques. The programmability of modern GPUs allows developers to not only distinguish themselves from one another but also to use this awesome processing power for non-graphics applications, such as physics simulation, financial analysis, and even virus detection—particularly with the CUDA architecture. Graphics remains the leading application for GPUs, and readers will find that the latest algorithms create ultra-realistic characters, better lighting, and post-rendering compositing effects

A complete guide to learning OpenGL. It covers all OpenGL functionality and goes further to GLUT. In the latest edition the book also covers the OpenGL Shading Language.

Speed limits - Don’t need them…

Ok the driving speed limit problem is solved in Greece. The solution? Gas costing 1 euro per litre! It is almost unbeliavable but everyone is driving at 80-100km/h on national roads.

I was returning from vacation and as I was having a headache I thought of going with 80km/h so that I don’t get tired. To my surprise there ware many others going even slower and I had to mess with bypassing them… none was bypassing me - except to some millioners maybe.

Why didn’t we think of this before?!??!?
