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!
So my site update is almost complete, I won’t go into details what I still want to change but I’ll tell you there are going to be some ads some places. (and if you want some feel free to contact me ;) ) Now for some other stuff to talk about.
I’m going to the Indiana Open 2010! So far some amazing and experienced cubers have registered including Mike Hughey, Dave Cambell, and Dan Cohen combine that with the event lineup it looks like it’ll be fun. I’ve never been to a so inland competition (or maybe not, it might actually be the 2nd most) before so I’m really looking forward to it, February 27th add it to your calendar (only if you’re in the area, don’t feel obliged to go to this competition if you reside in southern California you guys have a higher volume of amazing cubers there anyway I don’t know why you would want to compete anywhere else). Gotsta practice lots now.
School is keeping me busy here, and my free time is accidentally put towards Hulu, some video games, and Fireball Island (there is nothing else like that board game around). I’m also in a video production class, so maybe you’ll see some stuff I’ve done with that in the future. Finally: at this point I nor the others have any plans for the FiveAwesomeCubers.
Actually it was designed in 2008 but that’s beside the point. I’m getting a little tired of using Hypatia Sans for everything. And so Helvetica comes to the rescue! I think, below is a little mock up of the site’s new logo.
I don’t know if I will actually use it or not. I don’t even know if I will redesign or not, I’ve done at least a dozen sketches of what I would like it to be, time is precious though and I’ve recently discovered my school’s media lab where there are electronic keyboards plugged into Macs. The music you’ve been hearing in my FiveAwesomeCubers videos is from that.
Before I end this post big thanks to everyone who has been wishing me luck here in college, it’s been very pleasant so far, thank you.
that’s right! I really haven’t so I’ll make an attempt here.
Summer’s going absolutely fine, I think the pump in the swamp cooler in my house is broken so it’s really hot right now, and hot air is just filling up all the rooms. Good for cubing! Kinda.
So I’ll be departing for the Aurora competition tomorrow near Denver, that will be super fun, seems though that there will be a fair amount of slower people than usual people there, but that’s cool, means I’ll get to do some judgin’. But that’s Denver, and I suppose I’ve gotten too used to competing at the US Nationals or West or East coast competitions.
In case no one has noticed, I’ve started some new projects recently, first there’s Tip of the Week that’s every Wednesday on my channel (youtube.com/thrawst). The other thing is the FiveAwesomeCubers channel that’s every Friday here. Both of those are pretty much all I do now as making all those videos on a schedule keeps me busy-ish. I only hope I can continue to produce them in college.
So I guess that’s it, I’ve had a lot of requests recently to update the OLL section, and I’m happy to say that I’ll be (hopefully) updating that within the weeks to come, so check back on it.
Bye!
