The Long Dark Tech-Time of the Soul

This is a technology focused blog that describes my trials and tribulations with techonlogy which, no matter what brave new world is promised to be just around the corner, nearly always fails to live up to expectations.

Rubik's Cube redeployed


I was once told (I can't remember who buy) that the sign of a really good software application was that it could be used in significantly different ways beyond what the original creator anticipated. The example given was using the spreadsheet to plot graphs - this was long before spreadsheets had a graphing feature built in. No, it was done by putting the right kind of formula that would display graphics (i.e. characters) depending on the data. The result was crude ASCII art type bar charts, but they worked.

So this Wooster Collective post about art being created with the Rubik's Cube rocks my world. I love it's retro cubist (pun intended) looks.
