Carl Kasell & Peter Sagal by davekaleta on Flickr.
although the story is bittersweet, it does speak to idea of anticipating the full light & energy of real love, and that is why I thought this might be a good video to share on Imbolc, the second Sabbat of the Wiccan Wheel of the Year - it’s recognizing the seed, knowing if we nurture it just a bit longer, it will grow into something magical - new life, the return of the Sun - it’s Brigid’s holiday - she was the Lightbringer - for me, she is a Goddess of Hope & Faith
the kid in Touch would love JoCo’s song, I think LOL
and this video showing how this bad ass fractal forms is freaking sweet, too :D
Did you feel that? A tremor in the LEGO Star Wars Force? Or was it a RING?
LEGO’s site is sadly lacking on deets, right now, except that these Lordly blocks will be hitting shelves in the Summer of 2012; but io9 supplied a few more bits of tid & some speculated/leaked sets.

It’s been years in the making, but the long awaited sequel to Tron is coming in 2010. Jeff Bridges reprises his role as Flynn in the sequel, and can be seen here in the trailer (oh, and by the way…I think I want a light cycle more now than I did when I was a kid!):
The official site is now up and running and, though there is little content at this point, you can sign up for email updates. Visit the site at http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/tron/.
At ComicCon the Disney folks created a video arcade called “Flynns”, filled with vintage video games. Each of the folks clever enough to find the arcade received a golden game token, and after playing a few free games, was invited through a secret door (hidden behind the Tron game).
A second room contained a full size mock up of the Light Cycle, and posters of the concept art from the film. There were also free T-shirts and some other incentives.
This kind of “experience” was a great promotion, because it was personal. While I can share the key chains and posters I from other vendors with my friends back home, only the folks who were there could share the experience. As a result, I’ve spent a lot of time telling them the story of Flynn’s, then I did handing out “gift schwag”…
