Where your host wishes himself a happy birthday, queries about the percieved quality of his commute-time podcasts, and reviews a number of cool papers in computer graphics.
Paper links:
- Lightcuts: A Scalable Approach To Illumination by Bruce Walters et. al. A very cool paper on rendering with hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of light sources.
- Instant Radiosity by Alexander Keller. The paper that needed the framework of Lightcuts.
- GPU Gems 2, edited by Matt Pharr. Better than the original, lots of good stuff.
My birthday present was a new heart rate monitor from Polar USA. Expect a review soon.

Audio on the portable device has lots of wacky artifacts, but you’re the only podcast I’m listening to anymore, and I’m not listening for the sound quality, so that’s okay.
