Peking Duck linked to a very well thought out piece by Andrew Sullivan, there is no doubt weblog's have reached another level with the debate over the war in Iraq where so many smart people can publish their opinions & musings in such a public way. Good stuff.

I'm still working on doing adaptive terrain rendering, I like Hogue Hoppe's paper but as has been pointed out, it's missing a few bits.

Cool idea from Dom, doing drop shadows on our graphic images, the trick would be transparency, but should not be too bad, just do a blur of the entire image & change it too grey scale.

This is my Blog, some interesting articles on the war in Iraq, probably the best was Ian Murray , also found a neat explanation for the start of WW1 http://www.questia.com/ Probably the most interesting was the following quote.
"It was thought that the only way to save the threatened existence of the Monarchy was to give proof to the world of its vitality by administering an exemplary chastisement to this dangerous neighbour"

Now why does that sound familiar.
