Have you seen this? It is a tricky bit of a puzzle. It is not terribly difficult to solve as far as shape is concerned (not so easy either), but the challenge lay in getting the patterrn as well.

Barry White or Rubik's Cubic (Music for the Total Geek)

For the committed fan, the one who needs to have background music as he (or she -- we're cool) conquers the cube, there's this funky CD. It'll run you $20-25 on Amazon.

We're not saying it is the best thing to buy. Face it fellow geeks and nerds, you might do your dating life a little better if you left this one on the shelf when she comes by for a visit.

Instead, whip out a Barry White CD.

Either way, a copy of this will impress your friends. How it will impress them is a question, but for the Doctor Who camp, this might be the delicious oddball gift you never knew existed.

Anja Rubik's Cube?

Trying to dutifully blog the happenings regarding Rubik's Cube, with a respect toward's its inventor, I discovered that there is more than one Rubik making the news.

Anja Rubik is a model. She's the sort whose photo hits the cover of Vogue and fan sites across the internet. She's no Shilpa Shetty, who is famous by more than the virtue of beauty, but acting and personal charisma as well. Instead, Ms. Rubik is a runway model. Pencil thin with a classic model's tall height - 1.79 meters (5'10").

Born in 1983 in Poland, she went to a British high school in Paris. Still no word on her relationship to the cube. It seems unlikely, but until I read one way or another, I am unwilling to say with certainity.
