The Matrix is 10-years-old, and to celebrate Trevor Boyd and Steve Ilett recreated the iconic “Bullet Time” sequence out of LEGO. Their short film, titled “Trinity Help,” is a frame-accurate stop-motion animation of the scene. It took them 440 hours to recreate the 44 second clip entirely “in camera.” LegoMatrix
Hwang created the bird shape out of tiny red buttons. It looks a bit like drops of paint, but what first came to mind for me was drops of blood. I’ve been spending too much time thinking about Dexter.
the Dexter reference is why I started following LRM.tumblr.com
“The Jaguar Computer has a system memory of 362 terabytes, which is almost three times that of the second largest system. It can read and write files at 284 gigabytes per second and uses a 10-petabyte shared file system.” Designers of the world’s fastest super computer explain how they can save .txt files at LIGHTNING speed.

“First off, the author creates a main character which is an empty shell. Her appearance isn’t described in detail; that way, any female can slip into it and easily fantasize about being this person. I read 400 pages of that book and barely had any idea of what the main character looked like; as far as I was concerned she was a giant Lego brick. Appearance aside, her personality is portrayed as insecure, fumbling, and awkward - a combination anyone who ever went through puberty can relate to. By creating this “empty shell,” the character becomes less of a person and more of something a female reader can put on and wear.” Why Girls like Twilight (source)
this ate up a few hours. just run it and leave it in the background for some of the longer outcomes. My favorite outcome so far (so that the police have the ability to kill the zombies, but the zombies basically kill everyone else)
