New Hobby: Rubiks Cube

Finally managed to learn how to do this silly cube thing...it seems to be the fad now with the younger kids. My little cousins can all do it and thats wat inspired me to as well. So I went to get one (really cheap) and studied some tutorials on the net. So after about 3 hours (yes im a bit slow), I managed to get it :)

Its pretty much memorizing some algorithms and using your own common sense. I'm trying to make all algorithms common sense but think i'm going to take a bit of a break from that first.

New Toys: Mantis Mask, iRobot Roomba

Mantis Mask

Full face mask for diving. Really cool, tried it on my latest trip (thanks Eric!). Allows you to breathe through your nose underwater. Saves quite a lot of air, better for equalization and sinuses too. Only big downside is the flexibility loss on the surface. Not to mention all kinds of people being attracted to it.

Roomba 530

Finally bought this baby...have been deliberating for months due to its excessively high price. Tried buying it from overseas but there was lack of support. Warranty and ease of mind were the 2 biggest tipping factors as well too. Hopefully this baby will take out a lot of our housework...not to mention, ain't it cool to have a robot!
