When you want to turn your ginger cat over to one side, expecting a green centerpiece.

If the car behind me honks within one second of the light turning green, I will turn off my car and visibly start a Rubik's cube.

I despise stickering myself.
Well, there's your problem. The stickers go on the puzzle!

Cubing blog
There are a number of entries on cubing here on this blog. You can find assembly videos, reviews, and loads of other stuff as well that I like to share. Pretty much anything cubing related that catches my fancy gets the cubing label. You can read all those by clicking on "cubing (english)" under the LABELS header in the menu on the left hand side. Or simply click here.
Most of the cubing entries are in English to help cater the international cubing community that happens to make their way to my little blog here. Some are in Dutch still as I didn't realize at first that I would get so many international hits, hence the change a little while later. As of May 7th 2013 I will start writing all my regular blogs in English as well.
Overview of my times
Below is a new overview, much easier to maintain for me.
