Rubik’s Cube. Magic.

During some research into the history of Rubik’s Cube for my PhD, I stumbled across this video of freaky mind control an amazing trick by Keith Barry using Rubik’s Cubes and Numb3rs star, David Krumholtz, as his victim.

The one where he freaks out the Entertainment Tonight presenters is pretty entertaining too.

Anyone want to suggest what’s going on here?

Rolando for iPhone

This trailer for Rolando looks like it might be a great iPhone game and it’s interesting to see the interfaces constraints/possibilities shape the kinds of gameplay, though many have said it’s a clone of LocoRoco on the PSP.

Both remind me of the innovation that was PaRappa the Rapper back in 1991 – it is still one of my favourite games.

(Via Daring Fireball, which probably means you’ve already seen it. Sigh.)
