During ROFLCon, you may have seen Tron Guy walking around with his own dedicated camera crew. This wasn’t any mistake — CurrentTV was shooting a segment with the amazing Jean Nagy exclusively on Jay and his experiences at the conference. It’s recently posted, and It. Is. Amazing. Check it out:

Some of you who attended the final session of ROFLCon may remember the trolling (thanks Zotnix!) we got in our comment thread (not unexpected — what kind of internet culture conference would we be without it?) and the IRL flame war (like, punches) that ensued.

This “real” comment thread with the Anons may interest you.

I’m sorry, but I need to share this with someone, and you (ROFLBlog) happen to be the closest at hand: Jay frickin’ Maynard signed my Tron shoes!

He knew about the design, but when I asked him if he had ever signed a pair, he said no. At this point, I’m not really sure what to do with them. I could: Auction them for charity. Ensconce them in a time-release pod that opens in the year 2199. Wear them to death. So many possibilities here. Thanks Jay!

We’ve got confirmation that both the Mozilla Firefox and the TripAdvisor Owl will be attending ROFLCon in person. Interestingly, the Firefox just twittered what can only be interpreted as a direct challenge.

We’ll let you know as the details unfold.
