Write fast 3D software without a PhD
http://fosswire.com –
There are two kinds of fast in programming: Fast to code and fast to run. 3D applications and games are known to be speedy. But the time it takes to write and understand the code behind it? Not so much. On the flipside, many abstraction layers designed to make coding easier usually aren’t very efficient. So where’s the median? Meet Pyglet for Python.

Canvas 3D: GL power, web-style
http://blog.vlad1.com –
"About a year and a half ago, I demoed an early prototype of an OpenGL 3D context for the canvas element at XTech. There was a lot of interest, but due to time constraints I wasn't able to spend as much time working on it as I would have liked. In addition, Gecko 1.9/Firefox 3 wasn't in a state where the extension could run against an unpatched build.
