Matrix Online Website
The Matrix Online Website is now, well, online. The site already offers several features offering insights into how Monolith’s upcoming MMORPG set in the Matrix universe will operate. Also offered is a poll, user forums, wallpapers, and more, as well as the release of the first four screenshots from the game.
Sopranos Season 5 in March
Why, oh why, does it have to be so long between seasons with the Sopranos? At least Season 4 is out on DVD and we can watch it a few times while waiting for the premiere of Season 5 on Sunday, March 7th, 2004. Hopefully I will be able to pick it up myself soon.

I was looking around on the net for movies that will be coming out that I am looking forward to. Here’s a rundown with links to the movie’s homepages (if avail.). I am sure there are a few others that I am forgetting.

These skills, and more, will be needed if anyone is to remain alive.

After making it out of the first film (Pitch Black) alive, Riddick (Vin Diesel) finds himself caught in the middle of the tenth crusade, a 26th century war between the followers of Lord Marshal (Colm Feore) and the Elemental race.
I’m also hoping for Fury Road aka Mad Max 4 and The Fantastic Four to be finished and released next year.
Website, Movies and Music
Well, I fixed a couple links I noticed were bad on the zor’s links page and updated the dvd list again. I’m thinking what I am going to do for ease of updating for me is to create a database driven page for the links and dvd list. It should be a pretty straight forward page to create. I picked up a few more Cd’s and Dvd’s tonight. Since yesterday was a holiday all new releases came out today. I picked up the Terminator 3 DVD. I liked the movie, but it was so similiar to T2. My KMFDM Strum & Drang Tour 2002 DVD showed up. That was a nice shock when I went to pick up my stuff. On the CD front, I picked up the new Kid Rock, The Matrix Revolutions soundtrack, the new one from Dream Theater – Train of Thought and my new Skid Row CD – Thickskin finally showed up. Don’t forget to let me know if you come across any pages with link problems, missing images, etc.
Updates
I haven’t had a chance to update a lot lately with so much going on. I did however update the dvd’s page and the mp3’s list. The mp3’s list matches the format of the other pages and now has almost 700 more songs listed. The only downside of that page is it will not fit on a 800×600 screen like the rest of the site. I’m also hoping to update more frequently soon.
