Remember Rubik’s Cube?

My wife and I watched The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith a few weeks ago. In it, Will’s character solves a Rubik’s Cube to impress a big-wig, and that took me back to my youth. I can proudly say that I was alive and cognizant of my existence when they hit the shelves in the early 80s, but I wasn’t really up to actually solving it. I just enjoyed playing with it.

I decided that I wanted to get a Rubik’s Cube and see how much fun it is as an adult. I’ve found all kinds of sites and videos and tools since then. I ordered one from Wal-Mart online for in-store delivery, which I should get tomorrow or sometime this weekend. Until then, I’ve got these links and stuff:
