Some more good Rubik’s times today. I had been right on the cusp of the sub-minute average for a day of two here. Times like 1:00.16 and such. Carolyn told me she still loved me, but I’m sure she didn’t love me quite as much as she would if I had a sub-minute Rubik’s cube…

So I’m listening to the Q102 morning show again and another thing annoyed me. I know, I should just stop listening to it, and I do usually whenever there’s any good song on another station. In any case, they’re talking about the Dick Cheney accidentally shooting someone the other day. And they’re just kind of…

I’ve been lately working on speeding up my solving times for the first 2 layers, and also learning to solve it with the 2 layers on the bottom (with the final un-solved layer on top), which saves time since a) theoretically you can see the other cubes and do some look-ahead, though I’m not quite…

Recently, I have awoken my passion for solving the Rubik’s Cube. This is something that I enjoyed as a kid (but never solved) and then started doing after I came back from my mission in 1997. I always wondered why knowing how to cube didn’t get me more chicks. If I was a chick I…

So last night was the President’s state of the union address. I’m not really going to comment on anything President Bush said, mostly because I didn’t watch most of it. I will say in preamble that although I voted Libertarian in the last election, I don’t really mind Bush, as opposed to many other people…

Okay. So I met yesterday afternoon with Paul Imhoff, the assistant superintendent for Madeira City schools. When I went in, he introduced me to the superintendent as “the route guy”, which I thought was quite funny. The meeting went well I thought. It seemed like they were really interested in what I might have to…

One of the things that I like to do while driving is to imagine where people are going (or coming from). This is opposed to moving my head back and forth to weave specks of dust in and out of the white lines on the Interstate, which I only do while passengering, since it wouldn’t…

I’ve been meaning to blog about this for awhile but just haven’t gotten around to it. I wanted to talk about the various tricks that I use on the road in getting to work. There are 2 major ones, both in/around the Kenwood area, right before I get on 71 North to come to work.…

Pursuant to yesterday’s post, I got an email back from the assistant superintendent. He said that he would “love to meet with me and hear my ideas”. So I got that goin for me, which is nice. I will keep you all posted.

Another post for TPMHTDM! So, over the weekend, I get a newsletter from the Madeira City School District. Probably like many school districts, MSD walks a fine financial line. We did just pass a bond issue a few years ago, but that was for building new schools to replace our old ones (the schools will…
