ChessBrain's founder, Carlos Justiniano, has written an article about distributed computing. It basically talks about DC in general, relates their experiences while working on the ChessBrain project and talks about what it was like getting a project off the ground.

Each pod, connected to the matrix, contains a person whose bioelectric energy is being harvested as fuel for a race of machines. That was one of the early scenes in the blockbuster movie The Matrix. The concept, although a stretch of the imagination, has an inverted parallel -- humans are harvesting the processing power of the millions of machines connected to a matrix we call the Internet.</td></tr></table><br><br>It's been posted by the O'Reilly network and can be found <a href="http://www.openp2p.com/pub/a/p2p/2004/04/16/matrix.html">right here</a>. It's a pretty good read, so go check it out.
