I pushed my nandroid and TiBu over to my PC, so I'm good on that front. I actually am just now setting up TiBu to work with Dropbox and Google Drive... don't know why I didn't do this earlier.
I ended up in a bootloop yesterday right before I left work, and it wasn't even after a flash. I had been running Liquid's V.1 for a solid few hours (with 2 or 3 successful reboots for various reasons) and was about to jump to JD's V3 so I went into CWR to run a backup, did so, then went to return to the OS to do something before the flash and boot-looped (actually, I think it was just lock-up on the Google boot screen, and yes, I know Jelly Bean takes awhile to get past that, but I'm talking better part of 20 minutes I left it there). Battery pulled and back into recovery, tried to wipe and restore to the backup I had just made, failed a restoring data, tried to wipe and restore to my last ICS build, failed at restoring data again, begin getting nervous, tried to boot anyway, true boot-loop with nyan-cat, back to recovery, wipe everything again, re-flash Liquids V1 because it was still there on my "SD", reboot successful... but that part that get's me.... everything was set up perfectly the way it had been before I went to make the backup... all my apps, data, widgets... everything.... how is it with a full wipe and flash of a base ROM, i come back like nothing ever happened?

There's speculation that our current recoveries are not properly wiping things from JB, which is leading to all the issues. I'm thinking once you go JB, you don't go back.
I would definitely agree with that after yesterday.... Nothing more weird then thinking you've wiped clean only to find out that you just did a dirty flash...
Isn't there a "format.... boot, data, cache, system, etc" option buried in the advanced? Would that be more like what we need or would we end up with a fully reset device?
Don't quote me on this, but I think the advanced settings will wipe everything on your phone except your sd partition.
Of course they had to just give us a taste they know us by now. Plus they knew they did not have to worry about how others who were not at google io would be able to get a taste. Like the keynote speaker said "to allow for hacking" (when talking about nexus q).

No doubt awesome stuff! I don't mind Google's fast pace at all.. seems some non Nexus owners are getting crabby!

Yes. This folks, is why you buy Nexus.

JD is on ver 5 now.. sheesh, v3 has been stable for me
I have the colored X.
Are you talking about the Nexus 7 boot animation from here? If so, it's kicking around somewhere. You can install it yourself. I'll see if I can find it.
