What is "bit blipping" ? Do you mean blitting ?

If you don't know the exact term, can you explain what you are trying to do ?

See i knew i was saying it wrong.

I think it involves rendering textures on a 2d orthographic view or something

The process in which to make a HUD or something in a game. (I'm just going to use it to put up a UI and display text with, but yea that)

Ah OK, that's simply rendering using an orthographic projection. Essentially, it's a simulation of 2D rendering in a 3D environment, by using a kind of 'virtual screen plane'. Imagine a completetly transparent glass sheet floating in front of the camera, where you can draw stuff onto.

Here's a thread about it.
