What has Zach de la Rocha done since he departed from Rage Against the Machine?

Since he left Rage Against the Machine in October 2000 (
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1433539/10182000/rage_against_the_machine.jhtml
), Zack de la Rocha has been busy.

He has been working on a solo album, recently with the assistance of
Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails:

"?uestlove Calls De La Rocha Solo LP Dangerous, Scary" (05.03.2001)

He recorded a track with Chuck D for a Mumia Abu-Jamal album, and
celebrated the decision to give Abu-Jamal a new sentencing hearing:

"De La Rocha, More Contribute To Mumia Abu-Jamal's Third LP"

MTV
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1443966/20010522/story.jhtml

He was a guest on the Blackalicious debut album, Broken Arrow:

MTV
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1452688/03012002/blackalicious.jhtml

He has apparently been approached to record a track for The Matrix
Reloaded (which makes sense, because The Matrix ended with a Rage
track):

"Matrix producers approach acts for soundtrack" (21st October 2002)

He signed the Not In Our Name Petition against a war in Iraq:

"NEWS - Audioslave's Morello Rages Against 'War Machine'" (10/18/2002)

And (strange but true), he attended a Rolling Stones theatre concert
in Los Angeles.

Yeah, I guess I'm a fan.  I have only one RATM album now, but I'll
probably get another one.  I'm really curious to see what the solo
album sounds like.  And I admire de la Rocha's commitment to political
causes.

Dear Scott,
Thanks a bunch, man. Are you a fan of Zach de la Rocha yourself?
