That has to be the most depressing item on the list... That's what geeks want for Christmas?

Sheesh. I'm embarassed to be associated with y'all.

Check out the website, 'cause it's similarly depressing.

Probably the most dramatic form of geek fashion - Matrix replica trenchcoats.

Neo or Morpheus style, Trinity PVC top for the females, and for the more conservative geeks, there's the Deckard Bladerunner trenchcoast as well. All the trenches in the 300-1500 range (varies on fabrics) and the PVC is 120.

Did anyone notice that Caesar, over at Ars Technica, also got hitched this weekend? Big nuptual spike for the geeks. Some thoughts on this:

1. Hemos == Caesar??? If so, what is he trying to hide with this double life? Perhaps he may be lying in wait, plotting for a day when he can control all technology news everywhere! Obviously this means he is a hitherto unsuspected player in the worldwide Amish conspiracy. Shame on you Hemos/Caesar! We're on to you!

2. The great triad. OK, assuming the previous isn't true (yeah, right!), there is an old belief that events of similarity tend to come in threes. So, who was the geek news stringer to complete the hat-trick? Did Tom Pabst perhaps run off with that attractive young web designer he's been seeing? Perhaps one of the compatriots over at geek.compull a coup by wooing Stevie Case over to the light side? Where, my friends, where?!?

3. Elitism rampant on /.? Hundreds of wedding pics. Each over 100 MB. No thumbnails. Obviously hemos wants to share his wedding bliss ONLY with those worthy, i.e. those with enough bandwidth to not only siew the images quickly, but quickly enough to sort the good pictures from the blurry, jostly stuff. I wonder why.... perhaps a target list of people willing to run WorldDomination@home for his masters in the black suits and buggies? (Sorry, have I covered this topic?)

Well, that's all I can think of write now. I'm sure more will come to me when the medication wears off.

I'd have to say that Matrix-as-anime is a pretty good appraisal. At the very least, it sits on the juxtaposition of three axes: anime, Hollywood blockbuster, and Hong-Kong wire-harness action/fantasy (Ghost with the White Hair, or without the wire, anything by John Woo).

BTW, not trying to be commercial here, but if any of you are *really* into the matrix, check out this site, run by some friends of mine:

TrenchCo Matrix-style coats

The coats are top quality (I've handled one; lustresuede is nice stuff!) and if you want to order and use the phrase "DODGE THIS!", you can get a 5% discount on most items. (Some choices of material are already cut-rate, so check.) Trenchcoat Steve a great guy (too bad his nickname was like a duck call for morons after the Columbine thing), so expect flexibility and good humour.
