Enter the Matrix
My wife bought me “Enter the Matrix”:http://www.enterthematrix.com/ for Father’s Day (yes, she really is that cool) and I’ve been enjoying it quite a bit the last few weeks.

Matrix Sequel Has Hacker Cred
Matrix Sequel Has Hacker Cred Techies seem to enjoy poking fun at various movies that try to show hackers at work - since they always get something (and often everything) wrong in a terrible Hollywood attempt to show hacking to a general audience. So, imagine their surprise to find out that some hacking scenes in [...]
Whoa
First reaction: Matrix Reloaded is fantastic. There’s as much depth here as there was in the first, with some new themes and many expansions to the first.

Why 314 seconds in the Source? John 3:14 (”And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up”)? [...]
