As a lawyer, I don’t get a chance to build many things, but I wanted to teach my daughter how to solve the Rubik’s cube, so I built a magnetic one* that you can take apart and put back together again. Here is a short video about it:

Wha??? Richard this is amazing. The video is great too. Nice job.
Congrats Richard- great Video! best, Louise
Hi Dad! Who is this wonderful daughter you refer to in the video?? ;D heehee
Amazing! Great job!
What passion, What ability, Im am inspired
This really is cool!
Great Video! That magnetic Rubik’s cube looks fun. I may finally be able to solve it.
Richard,
A very impressive job of tinkering and parenting. I can see the subtle angling to put a second generation of Hsus into Cal Tech.

I assume it’s patented, of course! If you ever mass produce them, sign me up as a beta tester!
What a great metaphor Richard, love it! Inspiring creative minds…
Richard:
Very fun way to get to know you and get a glimpse into that great mind you keep mounted on top of your ever-capable shoulders.

Richard,
Looks amazing.
Karen
Cool project Richard and nice video work.
Cheers,
Michael
damn, you’re an industrial designer, bro.
btw, i hate rubik’s cube, but i like your design!
Really nice Richard. Cool project, excellent video and story. Would enjoy seeing your daughter solve the cube as you describe and do.
I love this rubix cube. I recall that there a was a big thing about the central joint on the cube that allowed all the twisting being novel way back in the ’80s– your magnetic idea is a really elegant solution– it is cool and beautiful!
Great site, love the look and feel.. but I must agree with some of the comments above… Rubik’s cube caused some of the biggest head aches I have ever had.. But.. I’d love to take a crack at this one.. put me on the wait list I’ll be the first in-line to buy one.
Great blog, very useful… and cool video — ambitious and sweet
Thanks for sharing!
Very clever, Richard! I love your new website – VERY impressive!
The blog is succinct & informative. You’ve captured the elusive combo of brevity & knowledge needed in our world of instantaneous news & information.
I like the blog, and I really, REALLY like the “one page” idea. The video with the magnetic Rubik’s cube is great…but I have to ask, did you file a patent on that before you published the video? :p
