But when they're approved they have the timestamp and position in the comment thread of when the comment was made, as opposed to when it was approved. My take on the EL wire is it indeed looks very Tron-y, but to anyone who's been to Burning Man it's going to be hard to get over its Burning Man-ness, especially Burning Man circa 2003 or so.

I don't really care about Tron, I just think this looks cool and futuristic, but it inextricably carries the Tron connotation, especially with the sequel having just come out.

Now I'm too embarrassed to admit it to either of them. Hanglyman, you know Daft Punk and Blue Man group(s?) did EL wire costumes years ago.

Curse you, Mom, for not teaching me soldering along with all that sewing. Home ec would have been so much more fun if they'd included an electrical shop unit.

In fact if you have the patience to sew you should have a very easy time learning how to do simple soldering like that required for this prjoject. I encourage you to give it a try! Youtube has some good instruction videos but you probably also know someone who can give you a quick lesson. :) Hey Chris, soldering is actually not that hard.
