EPUB (short for electronic publication; alternatively capitalized as ePub, EPub, or epub, with "EPUB" preferred by the vendor) is a free and open e-book standard by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF).

Voce is a speech synthesis and recognition library that is cross-platform, accessible from Java and C++, and has a very small API. It uses CMU Sphinx4 and FreeTTS internally.

shading techniques: very informative & opensource using PyOpenGL

my favourite monospace/coding font ever!

TTX decompiles TrueType and OpenType fonts to an XML-based text format (also called "TTX") and back, enabling you to edit fonts with a plain text editor. Currently, TTX supports all of the core TrueType tables, the CFF table, the OpenType Layout tables, a few Windows-specific tables, and additionally the VTT (Visual TrueType) private tables, which contain the source code of the instructions.

this is cool: manipulate java collections in a pseudo-functional & statically typed way

"Node's goal is to provide an easy way to build scalable network programs. Each connection is only a small heap allocation. This is in contrast to today's more common concurrency model where OS threads are employed. Thread-based networking is relatively inefficient and very difficult to use. Node will show much better memory efficiency under high-loads than systems which allocate 2mb thread stacks for each connection. Furthermore, users of Node are free from worries of dead-locking the process—there are no locks. Almost no function in Node directly performs I/O, so the process never blocks. Because nothing blocks, less-than-expert programmers are able to develop fast systems."

Very fast, open source, JDBC API,Embedded and server modes; in-memory databases, Browser based Console application, Small footprint: around 1 MB jar file size
