Now All Of You Smart People, Try Solving This One!
So after a while, you manage to finish up the Rubik's Cube. You are fairly skilled in pretty much any programming language there is, and math is your closest friend.

The Etch-a-Sketch iPad Case: Fun and Functional
When I was a little kid, I loved my bright red Etch-a-Sketch. I used to play with it in the car almost every day. I would look forward to long rides in the car because I knew I would get lost in the magic of my Etch-a-Sketch while sitting in the back seat.
It is amazing what you can draw on an ...

How To: Create A Paper Toy Your Brain Won’t Comprehend!
Doing mind puzzles is one of the greatest pastimes I can think of. I constantly do them, and if I find one in a store that I don't already have, it's bought even before I have even taken it off the shelf. The exercise it yields is a great way to start the day, and it is also a great way to stay al ...
