hmmm ... it's a loooong time since I posted. Well, nothing very interesting has happened recently anyway, except for 'Matrix Reloaded'. Contrary to the general opinion, I loved the movie.

The most important part is that they have got the triology to a logical conclusion. I must say, if you have an eye for details, then you will really enjoy the movie. Some dialogs are mind boggling and make you think (as always). So dont go according to the general reaction. See the movie and make up your own mind. Everything that has a beginning must have an end.

A thousand questions were raised, not many answered. First, about teaching - in such a situation, do you teach for the lowest denominator or the higher one. Doing anything is going to unfair to the other category. But in this case, the whole problem is magnified to a huge extent. I obviously cannot rely so much on gr...
