iPhone Rubik’s Cube Solver. That is so NEAT! And I don’t mean because it allows you to “cheat” on the puzzle. I’m just in awe of the computational wizardry involved in taking six pictures of colored squares, extrapolating a 3D shape from that, applying an algorithm to solve the thing, and feeding it back to the person in simple steps. SO TOMORROW!
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Eh, I just hand the things to the Boy. Asperger’s is good for something…. 🙂
I finally sat down a few weeks ago with some quality Internet sites and taught myself how to solve ’em. I gotta say, it’s absurdly satisfying. My time’s down to about 2 and a half minutes, but it’ll be hard to bring it down any lower without starting over and re-learning a more advanced strat. So 2.5 minutes will have to do me.
