I've got an OpenGL book from that same series. Frankly, it scares me but I did pick it up last night for a bit of bedtime reading ;)
I had a quick blast with my '4 particles to one sprite' idea last night also, it looked reasonable. Got a bit of a feedback effect going and it really did look a bit crazy =)
@big10p:
The feedback effect is just a slow fade-to-black type of effect. Nothing that can't be kludged with an alpha blend :)
