the same value as the original calculation, so the "shininess"
exponent must be slightly lower to approximate the value that
Phong rendering would achieve. The value is, however, considered
close to "real world" materials, so the Blinn method is generally
preferred to Phong.
Traditionally, n_dot_pos would be cut off at 0.0, but that would
create extremely hard-edged cut-offs for specular color. Here
we "fudge" the result by 0.05

generated both VBOs, but doesn't the second binding replace
the first binding? That is, why doesn't OpenGL try to read
the Vertex data out of the indices VBO?
OpenGL defines multiple binding "targets" for VBOs, the
first VBO (vertices) was bound to the GL_ARRAY_BUFFER
target (the default for the class), which is used for reading
per-vertex data arrays, while the indices buffer was defined
as targetting the GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER, which is used
solely for reading indices.
Each target can be bound to a different VBO, and thus we can
bind both VBOs at the same time without confusion.
