I’m Still Alive

Small note: While the content may still be useful, this site is woefully out of date (hey, I can average under my listed OH PB!). I’m hoping to improve it this summer. I’ve still been cubing, though I do most of it sneakretly by posting videos, contributing to the speedsolving.com forum, etc.

It seems the time has come for Frank Morris Facts.

Cube Flag

Since I live in America, I suppose I should be patriotic… Well, I’ll use this opportunity to show off my cool Cube Flag! (Huge – 6000×4500)

Here’s an animation.
This is based on (actually, taken from) my animated US Open logo. Made with POV-Ray, of course. (Source code will be up in a few years. :-)

Waltzing Cube and Alg Display

lgarron — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 07:00:31 +0000

A lot of updates are missing here…

Anyhow, I created a synchronized “Waltzing Cube” animation.
I also implemented an alg display feature (actually, two) as a Firefox search engine.

MGLS

The end of school was disastrous and unreasonable, but it kept me busy. And today in the morning I should have left for the US Open and the Origami USA convention :-(

Anyhow, I finished the MGLS pages today -my publication of a last-slot variation that Macky invented and I developed into a fully usable method (it’s now my speedcubing method).

Optimal PLLs

Here are optimal solutions to all the PLLs. Note the surprising 9-move HTM solution to the Y. (April Fools’! It’s 13 moves.)

Fake Cubing Videos

I made a few fake cubing videos last weekend. Here they are.

Speed BLD Guide

lgarron — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 07:00:54 +0000

No update to this page in over two months! I’ve been setting more records, though: I’m finally sub-20 (on a good average).

I worked on a speed BLD guide for two weeks (it’s finally up!), after working to get the record.

Belgian Open 2007

lgarron — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 07:00:42 +0000

The results of the Belgian Open are posted. I’ve never been so amazed…

And I wanted to get the third official sub-2 BLD! Oh well; hats (center caps?) off to Mátyás!
And congratulations to Vandenbergh (no offense meant to Fung)!
Wow…
