    Learn from The Matrix: Design Before You Code

    The most important thing you can do to increase the success rate of a software project is to fully define the software before a single line of code is written. Fantasy Land While it sounds good on paper, this practice is something that only exists in my version of Fantasy Land. Deadlines, budgets, and excited…

    Matrix Reloaded Theory Three

    The original Matrix starts with Trinity and Cypher talking, the screen shows “Trace Program” and the date “2-19-98”. The movie ends with Neo making a phone call, the trace program is initiated and the date reads “9-18-99″… 19 months have passed at this point (One year and seven months).

    Hamann-Neo Reloaded Transcript

    Some have suggested that he was the previous “One” before Neo. Others think he is just another old man in Zion. Either way, the conversation between Councillor Hamann and Neo on the engineering level gives some food in The Matrix Reloaded. But the bigger questions arise afterwards: Is Councillor Hamann a previous “One”? It would explain…

    Merovingian Matrix Reloaded Transcript

      The speculations have come from all angles as to who the Merovingian really is and what role he will play in The Matrix trilogy. Is he a previous one? Is he human? Or is he just a “very dangerous program” as the Oracle describes him. Whatever your view is, when Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity…

    Neo-Oracle Matrix Reloaded Transcript

      There are several camps out there that have opinions as to what the Oracle’s real intentions are. From her talk with Neo in The Matrix Reloaded, we know that she says she is a program. But is her purpose to help the machines or the humans? Or does she have her own goals in…

    Smith Interrogates Morpheus Transcript

      Since the release of The Matrix Reloaded, scenes from the first film have whole new meanings. One of the scenes that is probably overlooked too much is the scene where Agent Smith interrogates Morpheus. Agent Smith moves away from the computer-like personality that all the agents seem to posses to reveal a philosopher and a…

    Matrix Reloaded Theory Two: Neo a false hope

    Close examination of the The Matrix Reloaded reveals several facts that lead one to believe a single matrix would be empirically illogical. Based on current death rates and birth rates (we can assume these are true because the Matrix is based on current times) we can calculate the growth rate of the Matrix. Also, based on the…

    Matrix Reloaded Theory One

    The Matrix Reloaded has caused plenty of discussion coupled with tons of confusion. Questions abound as people continue to try and figure the puzzle out or simply give up and dismiss the movie as nonsense. I have continued thinking. After seeing the movie for the third time, I sat down and drew out what I…

  • Common Matrix Reloaded Misconceptions

    Common Matrix Reloaded Misconceptions

    After The Matrix came out, few thought that the Wachowski Brothers would be able to top themselves. And with such high prospects for The Matrix Reloaded, it would be impossible to meet everyone’s expectations. No matter what you’re opinion was of the second Matrix movie, you couldn’t deny that it had you thinking. I didn’t feel the need to write…

    The Architect Transcript

      One of the most profound, yet confusing scenes in The Matrix Reloaded comes near the end when Neo is confronted with The Architect. It is profound because it discloses an entire new concept to what most thought the purpose of the Matrix was. It is confusing because so much information is given in such a…
