This just in - I have officially become a Detroit Tigers fan.  This follows my code about following a team.  I follow teams that suck so that when they become good, it makes it more enjoyable.  As opposed to most Lakers/Yankees/Raiders fans, I can always say I drive the bandwagon. Case in point, I had been a Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans since the Steve Young days.  I would have been sooner had I been more into the Black QB thing when I was kid.  Something about that pirate and the old orange uniforms that I got a kick out of.  And boy did the Bucs suck for years.  Then they got a black coach (Tony Dungy) and started winning.  Unfortunately, they changed their orange unis and became the pewter pirates.  Then they dumped (and I mean dumped) Dungy for a pretty white boy (Gruden) and I was forced to stop liking them.  Of course, they go on to win the Superbowl, but still... And don't forget - I'm still a Clippers fan.   5:24:18 PM

Again... I have lied. There is this cool article on Salon looking at the world we lived in before the Matrix came out and what has happened since.  A world before 9/11, W and the elections, even before Columbine. Something to think about. Oh yeah - have they found the WMD yet?  I haven't been paying attention. 2:59:29 PM

Did I just say this week was going to be Matrix-free? I guess I lied - the fourth animatrix story is free to download here.  This is part 2 of the Second Renaissance.  This will lead us up to how we got to the world of the Matrix. Even though I'm seeing it next week, I watching it today. Okay from now on this week is going to be Matrix-free. 2:25:12 PM

This just in... I am getting Matrix fatigue.  No more Matrix related news.  I am declaring this week to be a Matrix-free week (fat chance!) 10:40:23 AM

There are some benefits to living in LA.  Two things come to mind: 1) Last week, I say X-Men 2 in Westwood at a midnight showing.  The row in behind of me was taped off for some group of people.  The people I was sitting with was joking that it is probably for some C-list celebrities like Corey Feldman.  Turns out not only was Daniel Cudmore (who played Colossus) sitting behind but also Bryan Singer. Yes, as in Bryan Singer the director of X2. Cool. 2) I got tickets to see the Matrix: Reloaded at the Mann Chinese Theaters in Hollywood.  Also in Hollywood one block east of the Chinese theater is the Egyptian Theater which is having an Anime festival.  On May 14th, they will be showing the complete Animatrix.  Do you know what that means? On May 14th, I will see ALL NINE ANIMATRIX episodes and then walk down one block and see the Matrix: Reloaded. I am a lucky man. 10:39:20 AM
