Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Wow this day has gone by pretty quickly!
Yeah I can't believe its 4PM already.

I'm not sure if I ever posted this, but just wanted to show you something cool the lady and I made over the weekend. Basically she was tracking the DIY tag on tumblr and came across this DIY dry-erase calendar. I'll link below, but the concept is that you take a poster frame and take it apart and on the cardboard insert inside you glue fabric of your choice. Then you take paint samples from Walmart / Home Depot / etc (we took 49 - 7 of each color). Then you glue these onto the fabric into a calendar type arrangement and then one extra for day of the week, which you write on the paint sample. Then you assemble the frame again and because the front of the frame is plastic you can write on it and it will act like a dry-erase board and you have a calendar for all months!

Evening All, anyone notice that if you move pictures in one of the file manager programs, it does not always show in the gallery?
 
As if we needed any more proof that science and space are totally awesome, the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) that has taken up residence in the Chilean Andes has delivered its first images. What you’re seeing below is a collection of zoomed-in images taken by the DECam of the globular star cluster 47 Tucanae. 47 Tucanae lies about 17,000 light years away from Earth, and the shots of it can only be described as breathtaking.

Anyone else notice the stories of NASA starting work on a WARP DRIVE?

Last year we almost had a phone called the "Nexus Prime," this year we almost had a phone called the "Optimus Nexus." I think it's safe to guess that the people involved with making these devices are Transformers fans. :p
 
Well it's that time of the year again, just got my flu shot. It's always nice when you get someone who knows just to jam it in there. Didn't even feel it.

Of course a couple years ago I had a syringe malfunction, when the nurse pushed the plunger down, the Vaccine sprayed out the sides. Had to get a second one in my other arm. Fun.
 
Arrrgghhhh. Bricked my nexus!

Was upgrading from AOKP 37 to jelly bean build 2, and right at the end it flashed you do not have "superuser" status, then rolled over and kicked twice.

I've tried recovery, rebooting a few dozen. Now I'm stuck in boot loop with AOKP animation that won't go away.

Anyone point me to a good guide on how to unbrick?

Pretty please?
 
Good morning everyone - happy Wednesday.

iPhone 5 reviews are coming in and they are looking pretty good - I hope that Google figures out this battery life thing because with LTE on that is insane. iPhone 5 review -- Engadget

PS: mmmm pumpkin spice latte.
