Bloxx: A bare-bones cross-platform OpenGL renderer via SDL
“Bloxx” compiles natively on both Win32 and MacOS (Code::Blocks project file included), provides a Window (thanks SDL), and render-context.

The bad iPhones will be quietly buried in the Arizona desert for future civilizations to puzzle over. (more…)
Dataporn: Naked in front of the Deltasphere.
I like the nomenclature of “dataporn” but I feel like to use it properly we’ll have to make a very strong case, because “porn” and “data” are such seriously loaded (and potentially mis-understood) concepts.

I’m not entirely sure the result can engage all of these simultaneously without very careful consideration, just due to the mechanics of each approach. (more…)
