This is an awesome story about some kids who wrote a "light cycles" program for an Apple IIgs. All was going well until the computer players decided to escape the game grid into system memory... (from clickolinko)

I'm posting this here so I won't have to look so far the next time I want it:
One of the locations in the movie TRON is Flynn's arcade -- the building is the historic Hull Building at the corner of Washington and Watseka in Culver City, CA (not in Venice). It is currently a nice restaurant by the name Akasha. I found out about this watching the Food Network one night; there was a show about the restaurant, and I kept thinking... this is Flynn's arcade, isn't it? And so it was.
I'd like to go there some time, but I had a hard time finding the exact street location and then what the name of the restaurant was. But now, hopefully this information will make it into the Googlesphere so anyone else who wants to go to the restaurant in Flynn's arcade won't have such a hard time finding it.
