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!

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.
