Total Geek Out

Feel free to "unfriend" me after this post.  Over the past couple days, I've been completely engaged with what possibly may be my 'geekiest' find yet.  Yes, I've finally discovered, the Rubik's Cube.

At first I brought it into work just to have something fun on my desk.  It was fun to tool around with it, trying to get a couple of the colours to match up.  But then I started googling strategies.  Algorithms.  Solutions.   And now I think I'm hooked.  The first time I learned and performed an "algorithm" was exhilarating.  Eight quick turns and suddenly the colours start to match up.  I'm currently playing with a "key-chain" size cube, but would love to upgrade to a full sizer.  

I've become quite proficient now at sorting the top two layers, but I can't get the bottom layer to sort itself out.  I still have yet to restore the cube even once!  I don't know why, but there is something incredibly addictive about twisting and turning the little thing.  And the best part about it?

It doesn't need batteries.
