Self-similar Huffman Trees with Extreme Guessing Propertie
An article by John Pliam. Needs a better summary, but I don’t quite get it, other than the fact that there is some cryptographic thinking going on here.

The Standard Function Library: Compression Functions
The guys at iMatix had the idea that they could write a super-library of C functions that woud be so useful it would rule the world. As far as I can tell, it didn’t catch on. However, there are a few compression functions here that some folks might find interesting.
