RAW Triangle Tube bracelet made with cubes and seeds. From the book Beading with Right Angle Weave by Christine Prussing.
My son Haryth took this candid of me trying to complete the task of Rubik's cube. The craze came back after more than 30 years when it was introduced . The greatest difference between the two era is the method to solve the puzzle. I remember going around days after days trying to get only one side correct, but my son spent a few minutes studying the method in You-tube and got the whole cube solved.
p/s. The cool John Lennon's image on my T Shirt was purely coincidental... :-)
Rubik's Cube
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
The Rubik's Cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Ernő Rubik. Originally called the "Magic Cube", the puzzle was licensed by Rubik to be sold by Ideal Toys in 1980 and won the German Game of the Year special award for Best Puzzle that year. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide making it the world's top-selling puzzle game. It is widely considered to be the world's best-selling toy.
In a classic Rubik's Cube, each of the six faces is covered by 9 stickers, among six solid colours (traditionally white, red, blue, orange, green, and yellow). A pivot mechanism enables each face to turn independently, thus mixing up the colours. For the puzzle to be solved, each face must be a solid colour. Similar puzzles have now been produced with various numbers of stickers, not all of them by Rubik. The original 3×3×3 version celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary in 2005.
This Community Cube build was put together during my segment of the 2019 LEGO YouTubers 72 Hour Livestream event in July. It sits in the residential area, and houses all sorts of community facilities. Ref: D1603-039
Ice cubes melting over a period of about 2.2 hours. One frame taken every 45 seconds for 177 frames. Forgot to manually set the white-balance, which accounts for the obnoxious shifts in color cast. Will correct that next time.
Wooden cubes, painted with a cream undercoat, cut out silhouette letters and attached with spray mount, painted with red top coat, removed the letters and then sanded back to distress.

On the shelf: references (including the New Hacker's Dictionary), Zorak figurine, can of Jeffu brand Ripe Bitterness (gift from Peg and Kevin), Twinkie the Kid container that I can no longer remembering acquiring and frankly don't remember why it's even at my desk.
At bottom, the miniature guitar (gift from Glen).
In this image you can see the right panel again. The back side contains the video card and the RAM. The flash was on so you can see the details.
GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN--Cheu transformed this plywood cube on casters into an amazing accent piece. The top lifts up easily, for genuinely useful hidden storage, while the high-quality wheels mean you can push it here and there even when it's quite heavy.
Available in one or two taphole versions for full or semi-pedestal installations. The basin can also be used with 550mm Cube basin unit.

I use a Lubix Dayan Guhong V2, and I know a few PLL's. I've been doing this for around 1.5 years.
Just another one of my hobbies :)
final thought was to just put it on a piece of glass and let it melt a bit. New problem was that it kept sliding around as the table wasn't perfectly level, but oh well. (never mind that the picture itself wasn't very level either)
The Cube Houses, or "Kubuswoningen" in Dutch, are one of Rotterdam's most iconic and unique architectural marvels. Designed by Dutch architect Piet Blom in the late 1970s, these innovative houses were conceived as part of an urban development project aimed at creating a "village within a city." Each house is literally a cube tilted at a 45-degree angle, resting on a hexagonal pylon, which gives the illusion that they are balancing on one corner. This striking and unconventional design immediately captures attention and has become a symbol of Rotterdam's progressive and bold approach to urban planning.
Blom's vision was to represent a forest, with each individual cube symbolizing an abstract tree, and the entire complex forming a cohesive "urban forest." The structures are built on a pedestrian bridge above a busy street near the Blaak metro station and the historic Oude Haven, cleverly optimizing public space. The complex consists of 38 small cubes and two larger "super-cubes," all interconnected to form a visually stunning and playful residential area. Their bright yellow color further enhances their distinctive presence against the city's skyline.
Stepping inside a Cube House offers a truly unique living experience. Due to the 45-degree tilt, all the walls and windows are slanted, creating unconventional and dynamic interior spaces. While this might seem challenging, the design cleverly maximizes the usable area within the geometric constraints. Typically, a Cube House has three floors: the ground floor serves as the entrance and storage area within the hexagonal pylon, the first floor houses the living room and an open kitchen, and the second floor contains two bedrooms and a bathroom. The top floor, often a small loft, can be used as a study, guest room, or even a rooftop garden, offering panoramic views of the surroundings.
While most Cube Houses are private residences, one "Show Cube" (Kijk-Kubus) has been opened to the public as a museum, allowing visitors to experience firsthand what it's like to live in such a distinctive home. This offers a fascinating insight into the creative solutions employed for furniture placement and maximizing space in an angled environment. Additionally, one of the larger cubes has been converted into a Stayokay Hostel, providing the unique opportunity for visitors to actually spend a night in these architectural wonders, further cementing their status as a must-see attraction in Rotterdam.
I despise these things. The side of the brain necessary to do this is a pile of mush. I'm just thankful the other side of my brain works, (most the time).

... one of the faces.
The Cube has 6 different colourful mosaics on its sides and combines a lot of the things that I love: Lego (obviously), geometric shapes, colours, mosaics and patterns and finally some logic and maths.

It was a very fun and satisfying build and it makes me so happy just looking at it.
This mini-rubix cube is one of my favorite gifts I got for Christmas in my stocking last year. Now..I just have to figure out how to do it! Patty?! Riff?! Help!
The cube is hanging on 4 auxiliary balls, showing the relationship between a cube and a dodecahedron. I intended it to be connected at the bottom with 4 balls as well, but the cube is just a fraction to big :-(
