1. From LA Magazine:

My parents both worked at the park in the summer of 1959, a year into their marriage and just four years after Disneyland opened. My dad was assigned to the cars of Autopia (back then kids would frequently knock out their teeth on steering wheels)

2. Zero Punctuation reviews the 3DS (and hates it).

3. Phil Saunders has been posting lots of Tron Legacy concept art.

Fanmade Tron video

Impressive fanmade Tron video featuring the return of Sark/Dillinger. Just like the real Tron: Legacy, the dialog is painfully clunky and goes on for way to long. Via.

Link roundup

1. Someone uploaded Tron: Legacy to Youtube - - the full movie as one, two-hour video. This has to be by Disney, right? It was mentioned on Reddit hours ago, and yet Disney hasn't taken it down. Or does it take much longer than I think for infringing videos to be removed?

2. Recipe for Horseradish Cream Sauce (so good with prime rib).

3. Noxzema now has two fewer ounces than it used to, but comes in the same size container - - which features a false bottom to disguise the smaller amount of product.

Link roundup

1. Tim Davis, a talented miniature painter, is looking for commissions.

2. Snuggie based on the Artist Formerly Known as Prince.

3. Tron vs. MCP animated gif.

Tron light cycle board game

Homemade Tron light cycle board game:

- The board is made from two pieces of smoked acrylic, which I etched on an Epilog laser cutter at my local Tech Shop. The grid was originally supposed to be edge-lit by LEDs, but the tint in the acrylic kept the light from penetrating. So, I taped off and painted the grid with blacklight-reactive paint.
- I cut the light trails out of fluorescent orange and blue acrylic, also on the laser cutter.
- I bought the TRON vehicles and Recognizer carrying case. I modded the carrying case a bit to include rows of blue and blacklight LEDs. I am in the process of repainting the vehicles with blacklight-reactive paint.
- I'm still finishing the carrying cases for the light trails, one of which is in the video. These were made of wood, also on the laser cutter.
- Everything is sitting atop a giant lazy susan that I made for gaming.

Daft Punk - Derezzed (The Glitch Mob Remix)

My new favorite song, Daft Punk - Derezzed (The Glitch Mob Remix) from the Tron: Legacy Reconfigured album. That's the official video above, with lots of footage from the movie.

But I also liked the image chosen by this fan uploaded video - - nice and simple and still feels like Tron:
