Rubik's Cube Lubricant

:  
Lube for the Rubik's Cube

I'm holed up in the hospital, recovering from a series of barbarous injuries.

It's my fingers. My fingers are all twisted and gnarled. Why?

These damn Rubik's Cubes! I've been rotating facets nonstop since Tuesday, not getting even close to solving the dastardly demon, and my hands have paid the ultimate price.


My Cube is a really tough sunuva... it resists the twists and turns, creaking in protest. Sometimes, I need to get the weight of my body behind it, grunting and sweating to get that crucial turn.

If only there was a better way!

Ah! I see that BoingBoing has posted an ad for a lubricant for Rubik's Cubes! Our prayers have been answered!

"Because until you try it, you just don't know how fast you can go"

I assume that the lube also prevents the Cube from heating up.... the last Cube I had burst into flames when I tried to push it too far. I had to recuperate for a month with burns on my hands and face.

Sure, it sounds funny, the idea of a grownman running down the street screaming, his hands and eyebrows on fire, with a flaming Rubik's Cube rolling down the hill after him, but you try it and see if you can easily explain it to the police. They're not interested in sob stories, apparently.

The Imperials - Can You Imagine

I recently put on the Daft Punk DVD, Interstella 5555, and thought I'd post about one of my favourite tunes off their album, Discovery, for motivation. Because I need it!

The song Crescendolls samples this track by The Imperials, a 1950s doowop band that turned a little funky in the 60s-70s. I'm talking about the 'chorus' that Daft Punk use all throughout their song, when it hits the second time on Can You Imagine, it's really special

Have You Ever Been? [To Electric Ladyland]

I was watching a doco on Jimi Hendrix and at the credits they played a solo-guitar version of this song, so I had to track it down.

No vocals, just gentle Fender
