Recently it may be hard to believe that I’ve read anything except for ham radio crap. I still read other stuff, I just haven’t been paying too much attention lately. While my random surfing today, I was reminded of Dan Piponi’s awesome blog and webpages about some of the really cool projects he’s done. Dan presented a really neat idea at this years Renderman User’s Group meeting during SIGGRAPH this year: namely compiling expressions into Renderman implicit surfaces. Don’t know what that is? Check out some of the other cool projects on his page. Robots. Detecting cosmic rays. Automatic differentiation. It’s enough to make bush league hackers like myself feel, well, bush league.

Great stuff.
