The guy who does xkcd has submitted some bug reports for the Android phone:
* Sometimes, when arranging home screen icons, you feel sad and you're not sure why...
* If you stop for gas, sometimes navigation suspends, but doesn't resume when you start driving again (or just disappears without notifying you), so you miss the upcoming turn and think you're already on I-95, and by the time you discover your mistake and turn around you've lost enough time that you totally get to the conference too late to catch Richard Stallman doing his acapella Bad Romance cover which is the whole reason you paid the entry fee in the first place.

Sometimes the GPS stops getting locks on satellites until the phone is rebooted. (This may be related to the GPSStatus app, installed to avoid this kind of thing.) To be fair, satellites are very small and far away, so you can hardly blame it for having trouble.
Well, my flight is apparently now cancelled. Their other Dallas flight isn't so I am on eternal hold to see if I can get on.

Lego steampunk "Voyage to the Moon" model
The 1902 French movie Le Voyage dans la lune provided one of most indelible science fiction images ever: the grimacing Man on the Moon with giant bullet-like space capsule in his eye. Guy Himber's excellent Lego steampunk adaptation evokes the same feel with panache. I love the barrel as the exhaust port! The sculpture won the award for 'Best Art' at the 2009 BrickCon Lego convention.
