The Matrix may very well be my - or one of - my favorite films. I don't remember when I saw the first one. I can vaguely remember going to see Reloaded with my parents in the theaters. That I remember, and though I didn't really understand a lot of it, I loved the action scenes as well as the music. Don't remember when I saw Revolutions.
I decided to write this post because...I've been meaning to for years. This trilogy actually means a lot to me, I have a lot of personal attachment to it. Truth be told, I actually do not hate the two sequels like everyone else. I like them. I recognize the flaws, but I like them. The entire story that was told - I loved.
And contrary to what many seem to believe, yes, the Wachowski's knew exactly what they were doing with Matrix: Reloaded and Matrix: Revolutions. They weren't just making this up as they went along, they knew what they were setting up from the very beginning - and everything that happens is deliberate. And I'll explain why throughout this post, where I'll mainly be discussing the first film.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || ).push({});
The first movie is simple enough, right? It is pretty much a good vs. evil story, that's how it's given to us. Thomas Anderson/Neo is a lonely computer hacker, who is questioning reality...and is curious about this thing called the Matrix. He doesn't know exactly what it is, but he wants to know, there is something in him that is dying to know. Neo knows something isn't right. He can feel it. And he gets that message on his computer screen, telling him to follow the white rabbit. This is Trinity talking and Neo is aware of who she is and the fact that she is a hacker.
Neo is looking for Morpheus. He has the answers Neo is looking for. And thankfully, Morpheus gets a hold of him at his office while he's at work. The mechanics of the plot are actually moving fairly quickly, early on in the film. No time is wasted, which is really, really good. The Agents are after him, they know that Morpheus and Trinity are looking for Neo.
Neo is finally able to meet Morpheus face to face. And the red and blue pills are presented to him. In addition to a brief explanation of what the Matrix actually is. Laurence Fishburne's performance is just stellar. Rewatching the movie, I completely forgot how good he is in this role. The wardrobe, the glasses, his cadence, everything is great.
They're able to pinpoint his location in the human birthing chamber-place, and bring him into the real world. Furthermore, Morpheus actually shows him what the Matrix is: a massive computer program. A neural interactive simulation, designed by the Machines to use humans as batteries.
And this is the war. There is a small group of those who are resisting and fighting against the Machines. With this "prophecy" that claims the One will bring about the destruction of the Machines. I put that in quotation marks for a reason. Later on, Neo is brought to see the Oracle. An old Black woman - which is, actually, quite telling. Because believe it or not, the Oracle is the most important person in this entire trilogy.
In the car, as they are driving to see her, Neo asks Trinity if she has ever spoken with the Oracle. He asks what she told her and Trinity is about to tell him, but, they arrive at their destination, thus cutting her off. What the Oracle tells Trinity is extremely important and radically vital to the plot of all three films.
In the Oracle's apartment, there a bunch of children present, all whom have the potential to be the One. Which is why they're there to see her. They're all kids, which is important to remember, because freeing a mind once it has reached a certain age can be problematic. You always get 'em while they're young.
The Oracle displays her importance just within a few moments of meeting Neo. She tell him, "don't worry about the vase." Neo then knocks over a vase. She tells him, "what's really going to bake your noodle later on is...would you still have broken if I hadn't said anything?"
It feels like a nice little joke, right? But this is crucial. Most people seem to completely miss it, I know I did for several years. With that one throwaway line, she illustrates what she is capable of. The power of influence.
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || ).push({});
If she can change the future simply by saying something to someone, that's something that could be taken advantage of. That's a lot of power to have. All this means is, you should pay very close attention to everything the Oracle says in each movie. See, when she takes Neo's hands to look at him...she says that he has the gift, but "it looks like you're waiting for something." The Oracle doesn't tell Neo outright that he isn't the one. He says it first, and she seemingly confirms it by saying "you have the gift, but it looks like you're waiting for something."
So Neo walks away from this scene thinking that he isn't the One. Later on in the film, he has to make a choice to hack back into the Matrix to save Morpheus from Smith. The Oracle tells him this will happen. Since he doesn't believe he is the One, there is no pressure. He's just another guy. So he decides to go back into the Matrix and risk his life. This is also just a tactic used to play out that question until the very end of the movie. Where it's more effective, after everything Neo has been through.
They had to do the Jesus thing where they kill him and bring him back to life. Thomas Anderson dies, and Neo is born, thanks to Trinity. I know the love angle here may be laughable or terrible to some, and I get that. It's cheesy. But, symbolically, I like it. And it just sets in place the very element that is necessary to ultimately winning the war. That's revealed in Reloaded. There are plenty of little easter eggs in this film that connect to the other sequels. They can incredibly difficult to notice. One of them appeared in the first act of the film. When Smith first captures Neo and brings him in for question, or whatever he was doing.
These screens. This is a very specific transitional shot, and it's not random. These screens are something you'll see in Reloaded, when we meet the Architect. Neo is being watched. Another key thing to point out is the fact that the Agents' jackets have gold inner-lining. Yellow or gold. This color scheme is also important. The green tint of the Matrix, the more blue tint of the real world and then this yellow/gold. This is more evident in the sequels, specifically Revolutions.
The Matrix can hold many different meanings for different people. Several interpretations can be made. The Jesus/Buddha symbolism is obvious and very much on the surface. But there are even deeper layers of symbolism and meaning. One that I picked up on points out that the Matrix is representative of the mind. The real world/Zion is representative of the body. And the Machines are representative of spirit. Mind, body and spirit. This is hinted at in this first film, when Neo fails the jump program. Crashing on the pavement, checking his bloody mouth when he unplugs inside the Nebuchadnezzar. Neo says to Morpheus that he thought it wasn't real - how could I get hurt in the Matrix and end up hurt in real life? Morpheus tells him the mind makes it real and "the body cannot live without the mind."
Fun stuff. There is symbolism like that scattered all throughout these three films. But what does the mind, body soul thing really mean? Well, these three domains are separated, fragmented, in a sense. They're at war with one another. They're not whole, they're not connected. And, any spiritual person knows that mind, body and soul/spirit need to sync, right? They can't be at war with one another. With that symbolic framework in perspective, the events of the next two films make a bit more sense...

(Al Metrabbi X Anchor Hill Hanya). I took this picture of this beautiful colt back in late 1984 or early 1985. We were considering buying him, but then decided to get his mother, Hanya, instead. We never regretted that decision for a moment, although, Aran was quite a gorgeous colt.
We had torrential rains overnight, and the News people tell us we got 18 inches. There is flooding everywhere. When I turned the computer on this morning, my screen looked like it had been submerged in water, everything was foggy. It finally cleared up, but then the monitor began "snapping" and what appeared to be strikes of lightening appeared down the middle of the screen. Yikes!!! I shut down immediately, and then used a space heater on the monitor in hopes of drying things off. It seems to have worked, but I think I'll just do what is necessary here on the computer, and then unplug it until all the rain and humidity go away, which may be a couple or more days. We have 80% chance of rain both today and tomorrow, with lower percentages predicted for the next few days after that. Everything in our house feels downright soggy, and if the sky is any indication, then more rain will be here soon. See y'all in a few days...I hope!!!

Well, after the advance warning/hype/worry that felt endless, Sunday brought Hurricane Irene to Central NJ for real. We lost power sometime after 2am on Sunday and it was out the whole day. I didn't really see any crazy rain, although the winds seemed to increase mightily as the day went on. But our bright apartment showed its worth; Dan read all day, and I did a LOT of crafts before reading myself. Our new laptop's crazy battery life meant that we could watch a movie once it got too dark to read or craft, and all in all? The power outage was really kind of enjoyable. And the fact that our new place has a gas stovetop meant that we got to eat pasta for dinner. You know, to go with all of that beer we drank, because we surely couldn't let it go skunky.

I have found a good solution to recharging my Dana. When it needs recharging I take it in its AlphaSmart Neoprene case in the shopping bag that I carry my things upstairs in and then unzip the neoprene case and plug the adaptor in and leave it overnight to recharge then all I have to do in the morning is unplug the adaptor and zip up the case.

Unplug and Play: Pemberton and District Recreation Service hosts free Family Event, May 1Share

Affected Communities: Electoral Area C, Village of Pemberton
The Pemberton and District Community Centre will be hosting an Unplug and Play event on Sunday, May 1 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm as a kickoff event to Screen Free Week.
The event is geared towards creating awareness for families on the importance of balancing technology use with time with family, creative pursuits, recreation and nature. Children today are increasingly connecting to technology and disconnecting from themselves, their close relationships, and nature. Parents are encouraged to participate.

A fantastic portable, rechargable solar lamp from the good people at pollinateenergy.org
The light is warm and extremely bright. After a day of charging I unplug it from the solar panel, and can use it as a desk lamp anywhere on the boat. At it's highest setting, one day's charge will last 6 hours...since buying it I have been able to stitch, write, read or paint well into the night. I used to have to stop doing finer work, because the reguar solar lights installed in the ceiling of my boat were bluish and not bright enough to do detailed work.
Even better, buying one Sunking Pro light makes 5 lights available to families living in the slums of India, so that kids don't have to study, and parents work at their livelihoods, in the poor, smelly, toxic light of a kerosene lamp.

These are Patented USB Thumb drives that are basically PC Computers on a thumb drive. They have their own operating systems, web browsers, Open Office documents, spread sheets & presentations, media player & movie player all installed on the USB Drive.
I partnered with a group of software developers & engineers earlier in the year we are about ready to launch these now. I have been using the Discrete Plain version for the past month and a half now without a hard drive in my computer. The reason being is that once these drives are plugged in, they do no access your hard drive at all. It completely bypasses your hard drive & boots from the USB Drive instead, so all of your regular files on your hard drive are non traceable. I have been browsing some of the most corrupted sites with out any issues or problems. They come in a few different sizes so you can still download files & things. When i download files, i simply transfer them to my external hard drive. I keep this on my key chain & use it on any computer that i choose, and that computer pretty much becomes my own personal PC because i have my desktop & Web browser customized to my likes.
Here is some additional info:
*Leave No Tracks – Surf the internet with Drive and your online activity is automatically hidden and kept private. Once you’re done surfing, simply unplug the Drive and any record of your online activity is eliminated.
*Plugged in and Protected – Drive is impenetrable to viruses and other malware. More secure than leading anti-virus software, the Drive’s unique read-only operating system guarantees protection against all attacks to your PC. Browse the web without ever using your internal hard drive.
*Refresh Your PC – Is your PC running slower than you’d like? It could be bogged down with viruses and malware. Plug the Drive into any old, slow computer, and it will be run like a brand new computer.

Antmusic is a song by English rock band Adam and the Ants, released as the third single in the UK in 1980 from the album Kings of the Wild Frontier (released 3 November 1980).
Antmusic peaked at No. 2 in the UK in January 1981, being held off the top by the re-release of John Lennon's "Imagine" after his murder in New York City on 8 December 1980. In Australia, the single spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Kent Music Report and earned the band platinum certification for sales of over 100,000 copies. It also reached No. 2 in South Africa, No. 4 in Ireland, and No. 6 in New Zealand. In the North America, the song reached No. 14 on the US Rock Albums & Top Tracks chart, as well as number 19 on the National Disco Action Top 30 chart (alongside Dog Eat Dog and Kings of the Wild Frontier), but it did not find success in Canada.
The music video to Antmusic featured the group playing in a discothèque with a giant juke box, and persuading the young audience to turn away from disco music and dance to the new-styled 'Antmusic'. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antmusic

Unplug - balance - reconnect. Unter diesem Motto stand die erste "Reconnect" - realisiert von Offtime und simyo. Die Besucher der re:publica 14 konnten sich zu unserer hypervernetzten Welt austauschen, über die Vorteile vom gelegentlichem Abschalten sprechen, und uns und der Netzcommunity ihre Gedanken zum Thema on/off-line mitteilen. Diese hielten zwei Tage lang life in einem graphical recording fest!
The writing, sharing, critical friend process wouldn't have worked if Unplug'd participants weren't solid collaborators. Although each participant could lead, they also recognized when to listen and when to talk, when to question and when to support.

The Concept:
As a culture, we have found ourselves entwined with the exponential growth of technology. Our everyday lives are entangled with the necessity for electronic machines, digital devices, chiming alerts, charging ports, LED screens and high speed connectivity.
This summer, we are extending the invitation for you to come unplug with us.
For three days and two nights, we will power down the communication devices and engage in conversation without texting. We will eat meals by the fire and connect socially without the social network. We will appreciate nature in its true form: up close and personal, without the pixels.
We welcome you to our tribal village.

Unplug and Play: Pemberton and District Recreation Service hosts free Family Event, May 1Share
Apr 21, 2016
Affected Communities: Electoral Area C, Village of Pemberton
The Pemberton and District Community Centre will be hosting an Unplug and Play event on Sunday, May 1 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm as a kickoff event to Screen Free Week.
The event is geared towards creating awareness for families on the importance of balancing technology use with time with family, creative pursuits, recreation and nature. Children today are increasingly connecting to technology and disconnecting from themselves, their close relationships, and nature. Parents are encouraged to participate.
This illustration came to me while doing a logo for a renewable energy company, the point i was trying to get across was if everyone unplugs there electricals (even if its just at night) then we are saving 50% of the environment.
Kelly Power ventures out onto the Lake under her own solo power for the first time, accompanied by Tom Fullerton. She came back changed by the experience, and ready for a heavy-duty into-the-interior canoe trip. Go Kelly, go!
It's always good to unplug, go outside and see...
You don't have to go far...I took all of these within a block around our home.
Hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
It sings just as well as the original. . .see,if you push the on button-
Miku CPU:*laughs*NO NOT THERE,I'M TICKLISH-
And if you unplug it-
Miku CPU:*screams*NOOOOO*fizzes out*
Well,it sounds a little TOO sharp. . .
I love the angry look this little bee has. That's how I feel right now. I have been having a difficult time with my internet for the last few days. After numerous calls a repairman finally fixed it, for a few hours. I could have internet for five minutes and then not have it for several hours. It comes (briefly) and it goes (usually a long time). I shut down, reboot, and unplug and I'm tired of it. Got to go now and make another telephone call. Oh yeah, Frontier sucks.
It took a couple days for me to unplug myself from a busy work schedule so I could simply kick back and enjoy my holiday. But the beer from Brooklyn Brewery help build that bridge that took me quickly from work-mode to vacation-mode.
And today I start my struggle to get back to work-mode. It was fun while it lasted. :)
