Oh boy. Remember the other day how I went off on a rant about Time Warner Cable? Well the technician finally came today and while he got the modem working again, my download speed was ~200kbps and websites just would NOT load. After calling techs and getting hung up on, I called and went to cancel. They kept me as a customer after adding “Road Runner Turbo” to my service, lowering the monthly rate for a 10Mbps line to $29.95 a month and crediting me with $80. They’re also sending out a technician again tomorrow morning in case shit fucks up again.

So, I apologize for the lack of posts. It’s the holidays and next week we’ll be on a reduced schedule. Consider it to be a little bit early this year and thank Time Warner Cable for it. They earned it.

Unless you’re one of those crazy Rainman-like guys who can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute, then the cube has caused you some sort of frustration or grief at one point in your life. Well, this new Rubik’s Cube appears even more difficult than its predecessor.

Without colors on any side, the only leeway you get is from the varying sizes and even that will probably throw you off track.  On top of that, to create even more frustration, the surrounding sides of each individual block have reflective mirrors on its surface. I’m getting angry just thinking about solving this thing.
