This afternoon I saw "The Matrix: Revolutions" for the second time in five days - I was so eager to watch this final installment in the series after the suspense created by the last one that I was there to see the movie first day, first show!

[2003-09-10] "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

The fifth book in the "Harry Potter" series by J. K.

I recently received my copy of MindCandy DVD, a superb collection of PC Demos that includes some all time classic demos like "Second Reality" by Future Crew. This DVD is the result of an almost two year long project and is truly a labour of love, especially considering the technical hurdles faced by the creators of this DVD in recording these demos.
