- I finished 2nd at Berkeley Summer 2010 with an average of 12.73 in the final round. After an not-so-great first round (13.56 avg), I got a 9.21 on the ridiculously easy first scramble (4-move X cross, but on white, so opposite cross for me). With the last solve being a timer failure (0.09 DNF), I ended up with a counting 14.08 and a 12.41 average that should have been a PB sub-12.
Other highlights: 20.03 single OH, and spectacular fail in OH final.

- The new version of Conrad Rider's VisualCube incorporates the color scheme cookies and stage masks I added. I modified the rest of the site to work with the new source.

- The advanced F2L page has been completely revamped, now with a list of all D-cross F2L cases (pair type, target slot, any empty slot, AUF) that can be solved (by right-handers) without reducing to another case using rotation or a double layer turn. Also added are all adjacent-slot Jeff2L cases, orientation-preserving F2L, and other tricks for last layer control. Post anything I missed here.
I used Conrad Rider's VisualCube, which provides much more functionality than Lars Vandenbergh's imagecube. I've modified the source so that you can set the default color scheme. - 06/11
- I did an interview for Indonesian cuber Andik Lukman.

- I finished 3rd at German Open 2010 with an average of 12.52 in the final round. First round just sucked, but second round was also not bad, as I progressively warmed up. I think this is about what I should be averaging at home, if I ever actually do averages at home.
This is probably my last competition in Europe during this stay. 5 competitions in 5 countries, 4 3x3 podiums, lots of PBs, new friends of many different nationalities, amazing travels and stories...it's been awesome. I'll see you all again some time! - 12/04
- I finished 2nd at Zaragoza Open 2010 with an average of 12.73 in the final round. Sub-13 average on all three rounds (12.81 and 12.61 for first two)! Either it's the F1 I've been using since Danish open, or the 11.99 average broke a psychological barrier. In any case, I'm very pleased. My final round solves are on video!
Also PB on OH and 5x5, both average and single.

- I finished 2nd at Danish Open 2010 with an average of 11.99 in the final round (PB, first sub-12!). Second round was a disaster , with 20.75 POP, 14.27+, and timer failure on the last solve. I used the F1 that Kai Jiptner gave me at Benelux Open for both 2H and OH, and I love it! Other highlights: Two sub-25 OH averages (both PB), a sub-2 BLD (pure 3OP), PB 2:20 average and 2:03 single on 5x5, 29 DNF on fewest moves.
It's been a crazy week. Thanks for all the memories. ^^

- I finished 4th at Benelux Open 2010 with an average of 14.19 in the final round. Bad average in the final round (with a +2 that made a difference), but I got a 8.50 PB/NR in the first round (PLL skip (just AUF U'), predicted before OLL sexymove-sledgehammer) and twice again missed a PB average (13.14 and 13.25, both with a counting 14+). 33 on fewest moves!
Thanks to my hosts, you know who you are. =) - 12/02

- J'ai remporté Toulouse Open 2010 avec une moyenne de 13.43 dans le final. A part d'un PB single de 10.27, j'étais également deux fois très proche à avoir une PB moyenne (3mm dans le deuxième tour pour le 15.78+). Plaisir de voir et revoir des cubeurs français, anglais, espagnols, et un Belge et un Allemand ! ^^ Résultats complets
I won Toulouse Open 2010 with an average of 13.43 in the final round. Aside from a single PB of 10.27, I was also twice very close to having a PB average (3mm in the second round for the 15.78+). It was a pleasure meeting/seeing again French, British, Spanish cubers, and one Belgian and one German! ^^ Full results - 15/01
