It’s hard to find help sometimes…

August 2nd, 2010

…more than often I’m just trying to find information on something I’m interested in.

It’s a huge was of time to scrub through speedsolving.com forum posts looking for BLD help and instead reading a bunch of Portal references and internet memes.

Thank goodness, that flying pony hunter, Stephan Pochmann came up with: http://www.cubeguide.com/

It works better than that Square Search thing I did too. Enjoy!

Found a Little Gem…

July 14th, 2010

I was one of the earlier members to join the speedsolving.com forums, which wasn’t even called that at the time. I was around 36s at the time, and not thinking that I would use the account very much, I hastily joined using the name “Me!” (the exclamation mark was taken off after the forum switched servers.)

Anyway, the gem that the title refers to, I was rooting around and I found this: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=375
The third post is the “gem”, yessir, takes me back.

oh boy! One Handed Cubing

July 12th, 2010

All of a sudden I found out that OH cubing with the Alpha V also works really well, I’m even thinking of getting a second one so that I can have one more tuned for OH and the other more for 2H. Here’s the Cubemania graph of my OH times to show it.

I just don’t like how it looks like it’s going back up, perhaps I’m wearing my hand out through practice, and getting worse and worse as a result? Any tips for OH would be awesome.

Rowe Hessler now in the FiveAwesomeCubers

June 8th, 2010

The title pretty much sums it up, and I guess I’m getting at this late, but the 2009 American Champion is now on board with the FiveAwesomeCubers. He’s made two videos so far, both highly entertaining and bloody fast. Of the two I recommend the first one, great one handed tips. Click here to see it.

In the meantime, I haven’t posted in two weeks, I got some ideas for this Friday for sure though, see you then!

Thanks for reading!

Miscategorized

June 1st, 2010

I did some work for DemandStudios for a bit, didn’t get accepted past the approval process. However just looking through some of the articles I found that some of them were very very miscategorized.

My assumption for this happening is that their algorithm isn’t totally precise. yay algorithms.
