I like his expression, I think it’s saying “yeah, I’m an overweight, four-eyed engineer, but my outfit Rocks, so I’m happy!”

It’s a pity that I’ve read the guy’s Livejournal and he’s a complete reactionary beardo asshat. He’s been very unpleasant to a friend of mine, and I can’t help making a big frown every time I see Jay Maynard getting attention.

  Agreed.
  
  If you ever have the misfortune of meeting this A**-Clown Just say Hi and move along.
  
  If you listen to him for a few minutes… You’ll end up wanting to just punch him.

  I followed him on Plus for a while – and unfortunately I agree, he’s spooky crazy in the “If I keep standing here talking to you, I will punch you in the face.”

  Same here. He definitely subscribes to the “conservatives can do no wrong because liberals are evil” brand of rhetoric mixed in with more than a bit of crazy.

    Maybe the T in Tea Party is actually for Tron?

Don’t forget his (minor) role in that very original tv ad…

I saw another pic of this guy in a slide deck by Jono Bacon at a conference last week. He’s really making the rounds.

I met him at Penguicon a few years ago and I concur he is a real @ss hat

I do enjoy some of the light wavelengths that he emits.

But not all of them.

Why doesn’t he upgrade to new tron styles?

Nope. You just can’t be badass with type 2 diabetes.

I’m actually impressed to hear this guy is a right wing lunatic asshole. It showed me that I’d made a bunch of assumptions about what he must be like that were completely unfounded and wrong.

And going around looking like that and being a dick to everyone you meet, that is kind of baddass. Kind of.

I would’ve thought he could afford a bit more EL strip by now.

Just so you people know, he doesn’t, really, wear that thing because he likes Tron.

He wears it because he loves wearing spandex. Being squeezed, making people look at his bulge, that’s his kink. Less nerd, more perv. Just fyi.
