We Dedicate this Post to the Tron Guy AKA Jay Maynard
Some people strive to make it in this world by doing good for others. Some people try to save the environment, cure cancer or even make us laugh. And then there are people who make waves by wearing and making Tron costumes. Meet Jay Maynard.
Jay Maynard is a computer programmer and system administrator. He is most famous for creating and wearing an electroluminescent Tron Guy costume.
He became a subject of Internet discussion forums when his costume, inspired by the movie TRON, spread across the net from postings on Slashdot and Fark. He parlayed his notoriety into a series of appearances on the late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2004. Maynard is the maintainer for Hercules, which emulates IBM mainframe hardware Despite his appearances as the “Tron Guy”, Maynard has much more memorabilia from the Warner Bros. animated series Animaniacs in his home.
