Extreme Elvis is a San Francisco-based Elvis impersonator who performs a highly unflattering rendition of an Elvis who supposedly survives the 1970s only to grow more obese, and more addicted to substances. His highly controversial impersonation meets with strong disapproval among Elvis fans, and is said to be less an impersonation of "Elvis" as it is a caricature of American decadence—abusing the highly iconoclastic and universal archetype that Elvis once embodied.
Motto: "Every generation gets the Elvis it deserves"

Project Ben-Yehuda aims to make accessible the classics of Hebrew literature (poetry and prose at first, and then essays and other forms) to the reader of Hebrew. It is named for Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the scholar largely responsible for reviving Hebrew as a modern language. For that purpose, the literary works are converted to a format that is readable and searchable on the Internet. The project is intended to be of use for both amateurs and scholars of literature. It is inspired by Project Gutenberg, started by Michael Hart.
Agar is a set of computer graphics libraries used by many applications including 2D/3D computer games, visualization tools, graphical editors and simulations. Agar applications are portable to a variety of operating systems and graphics APIs, such as SDL and OpenGL.
Agar is open source, released under a revised (two-clause) BSD license. The project has been in development since early 2002, and Agar 1.0 was released on October 2005.
The main libraries included in the distribution are:
- Agar-Core (object system and portability interfaces)
- Agar-GUI (graphical user interface library)
The Agar-Core and Agar-GUI libraries are implemented in C, but can be used from other programming languages as well.
Additional libraries based on Agar-Core and Agar-GUI include:
- Agar-VG (vector graphics)
- Agar-RG (composited pixmap graphics)
- Agar-SG (real-time 3D scene rendering and geometrical constraint solving)
- Agar-SC (linear algebra and scientific computing routines)
