Perfectly Suited
I just found the nerdiest website on the Internet:
It's a website that details Jay Maynard's quest to make an authentic Tron costume. And it has amazing "Before" and "After" photos like these:
Check out that moose toe!
Tron Guys
NOTE: Uh-oh. I just did a google search on Jay and apparently I'm way behind on this one. According to Wikipedia, he was on Jimmy Kimmel a few times in 2004. So I guess his fifteen minutes are over. Though who knows - maybe he can grab a little more spotlight in 2007 - the 25th Anniversary of Tron!
Posted by Anthony King at December 13, 2006 03:01 PMI am very glad you caught yourself. Because I was about to direct you to a video of a kid pretending to use a lightsaber.
Yeah - I guess I missed it while answering an email from a Nigerian priest who needs me to help him with some money.
HOWEVER, I will suggest that your readers in LA might want to check out this lecture on Friday.

To quote:
"According to a loosely defined Gnostic world-view, humankind is imprisoned in a fallen, dualistic universe. Everything we perceive is a deception, and the True World is concealed behind shells of imprisoning illusion.
The ‘God” of this world is actually the Demiurge — a prison keeper working to hide knowledge (gnosis) of our true selves. In this prison-world of lies, truth would appear as an error, a bug in the system. Most of this paranoid cosmology is explained in the allegorical Disney film Tron."
Just funny that this popped up on my RSS feeds right after your post.
Not quite over...I still get emails, and people still interview me, and I still do some stuff (for example, check out We Are the Web.
Wow - that was fast, Jay! Awesome. Keep up the fight!
