I put 750 miles on this thing. The interior is noisy at highway speeds. The gas pedal is touchy (all Toyotas that I've driven are like that). Other than that it's pretty nice.
(What is the Matrix?
Once a year the students of the Budapest Technical University turn the 208 windows of their dormitory into a 208 pixel screen simply by switching on and off the lights in the rooms and have a competition of short "animated movies")

My son and his little brother on the trampoline-straight out of the movie Matrix-it looks kind of kool...I snapped a series of pic's and this was the best one. They had so much fun this day-did not want it to end. Their smiles and genuine laughter cannot be replaced with anything other than a hug.
Our family keeps getting hints to whom of us our kids resemble. The general perception is, that the older one (Prozac05) resembles me while the younger Prozac09 is resembling my wife. I really can't tell. I only see that the two themselves differ a lot.
So I tried to see if comparing them with their parents at the respective ages (5 and 1.5 years) would bring any clarification. Not for me except for the insight that picture quality and haircuts have improved in the last 30 years...
P.S.: And yes I did have curls for like two weeks or so about 31 years ago. (That or I was temporarily exchanged by some other kid back then).
My first Matrix creation. I know it's been done and done well, but I wanted to make one that would be relatively easy to reproduce without rare parts.

I was recently given the wonderful opportunity to work on a Toyota campaign promoting the 2008 Matrix. I was supplied with a rendering of the car and I was to create three unique designs based on characters in the campaign.
This project felt like I was designing real Hot Wheels cars. Needless to say, I had a blast working on these.
We had an equivalent concept here in Canada, but this campaign never made it north of the border. But this was a part of the Your Other You campaign in the US.

On the screen: art by Alex Grey.
Alex Grey (born on Gregorian November 29, 1953 [White Solar Dog] in Columbus, Ohio) is an artist specializing in spiritual and psychedelic art (or visionary art) that is sometimes associated with the New Age movement. His oeuvre spans a variety of forms including performance art, installation art, sculpture, and most significantly, painting.
Grey's paintings can be described as an unusual and contemporary blend of sacred or visionary art and postmodern art; one term used to describe the artist's work is "transpersonal". His work often depicts aspects of the supernatural world overlayed with aspects of the natural world. Some viewers report that elevated or spiritual states are induced while viewing his images, which might be described as the traditional purpose of sacred art. His work has an eclecticism that often integrates auras, human anatomy, religious icons (sometimes reminiscent of thangkas), geometric shapes and tessellations (sometimes reminiscent of mandalas), in natural, industrial, and multicultural situations. The human figures are sometimes shown nude (usually with partially translucent skin), in sexual situations, or in the act of meditation.

Digital: A digital system is one that uses discrete numbers, especially binary numbers, or non-numeric symbols such as letters or icons, for input, processing, transmission, storage, or display, rather than a continuous spectrum of values (an analog system).
The distinction of "digital" versus "analog" can refer to method of input, data storage and transfer, the internal working of an instrument, and the kind of display. The word comes from the same source as the word digit and digitus: the Latin word for finger (counting on the fingers) as these are used for discrete counting.
The word digital is most commonly used in computing and electronics, especially where real-world information is converted to binary numeric form as in digital audio and digital photography. Such data-carrying signals carry either one of two electronic or optical pulses, logic 1 (pulse present) or 0 (pulse absent). The term is often meant by the prefix "e-", as in e-mail and ebook, even though not all electronics systems are digital.

This is so cool. The original Matrix, now 20 years old, is my favorite movie ever, and now I am super excited to share the sneak peek that my Pilat painting of my Apollo 15 umbilical cable that flew to the moon — providing a data link to the Lunar Module from the mother ship — will be among the symbolically-perfect home décor for Neo in the Matrix 4.
Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are in town for filming that starts Feb 9 in the San Francisco financial district, SoMa and Chinatown. It goes by the code name “Project Ice Cream”. The action scenes will mostly be filmed at night and over the weekend with “low-flying helicopters, pyrotechnics, drone cameras, crash stunts and simulated gunfire” as they describe on the fliers sent to the local businesses here. Shipping containers of film equipment are also in place in the Alameda (as they were for Matrix 2) and an FX studio is running in the basement of a certain iconic SF hotel.
So excited to see what the Wachowski sisters — née brothers — will simulate this time around. And I hope my Pilat makes the final cut!
Details on the Apollo 15 umbilical cable: In 1971, on the way to the moon, it was routed through the docking tunnel to connect the two spacecraft; it was used to provide power to the Lunar Module from the docked Service Module fuel cells until separation for the lunar landing, and it functioned as a command link for the LM/SLA sequence controller (required for LM extraction from the Saturn V stack).
Here is a flickr post I made on the artifact and Pilat's painting of it. And her site: www.agnieszkapilat.com
