Here’s today’s hand’s on challenge…

  1. Go to one of our locations
  2. Have a nerd working behind the counter confirm that the rubiks cube is scrambled
  3. Using whatever resources you have available, other than moving stickers on or disassembling the cube, solve it in less than three minutes
  4. Profit!*

*Profit = receive a free 450mL beverage of your choice.

I love Space Invaders.  I play so much that I see them when I sleep.

So why not have these in my iced coffee as well?

Play online here.

Buy these ice cube trays here.

belkinn1vision

It supports WPA2, 802.11N, and all the other fun new letter-number combinations.

Now to start working on hacking it so I can see the weather forecast on the display.
