Over the last year, I’ve (very slowly) been working on a LEGO model of a NASA Space Shuttle. It’s finally finished, or as much as it will be. I need to move onto other things now.

It’s about 38” long. I have no idea how many pieces—many thousands because every surface is tiled over. The flaps and rudder move and the cargo bay opens up to reveal a detailed interior.

You can see it on BrickShelf or MOCPages.

I’ve started thinking about my next model, but haven’t done anything beyond prototyping. I’ve got other projects at the moment, so it will probably be a long time before it’s done.

On Saturday, my wife ran in the Rock and Roll Marathon in downtown Seattle. I roamed around and took pictures of Qwest and Safeco fields and snapped a few of the race itself. Bib numbers I captured (where I could read them) are: 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 15, 1275, 1347, 1350, 1356, 1412, 1470, 1490, 1498, 1539, 1573, 1580, 1611, 1690, 1695, 1707, 1710, 2042, 2449, 2470, 2494, 2513, 2575, 2642, 2723, 3512, 3610, 4318, 4498, 5227, 5335, 6671, 7412, 9335, 11419, 12487, 13512, 13610, 23556, 25480, 28560, 29588, 34389, 35366, F1, F2, F4, F5, F7, F8, F9, F14.

If you see yourself in any of these, I’ll e-mail you what I have for no charge. I won’t do any processing on them, other than what I already have, however.

Working on Bing.com for the last 9 months or so has been exhilarating. Finally, we can show the world the great stuff we’ve been doing. Here is (I think) the first TV commercial about Bing.com, running as of today.

I kissed Google goodbye more than a year ago and haven’t looked back. I think once people start using Bing, they’re going to do the same.
