Kiara surprised me last night by taking me to see the Matrix. I didn’t expect to be there opening night; since Owen was born we haven’t been so gung-ho about seeing movies early on. So wow, what a surprise!

Very, very cool. Maybe not quite as cool as the first — if this movie stood alone I’m not sure that I’d be hyped up for a sequel — but I am already looking forward to seeing it again. I have a lot of questions, most of them having to do with Neo’s conversation with the Architect.

Here’s a tip: stay through the credits. You’ll be treated to a preview of The Matrix: Revolutions.

Update: I forgot to mention: the Matrix runs on Unix! Unpatched Unix, too, as these screenshots demonstrate. Note how she’s able to get root.
