a graphical OS written in asm, fits on a floppy, and encourages
application development in asm.  Yes, it's pointless, but it's fun.  He
has a very interesting idea of what a binary file format for a GUI should
be.. specifically, he encodes in the program header information about what
events a given binary handles.. this is usually taken care of by a big
switch statement.  Here, the big switch statement is in the kernel and can
do sane things like scheduling of events.  As such, he gets real time-like
performance from his GUI.
