We just proved that all positions of Rubik's cube can be solved
in 20 or fewer face turns. The number of Rubik's cube positions at a distance of exactly 15 in the half turn metric is 91,365,146,187,124,313. This was determined in a collaboration between Morley Davidson, John Dethridge, Herbert Kociemba, and me. I just got my ham license (Amateur Extra) and a vanity call (W6TGR). Hope to see you on the air, after I get the antenna stuff figured out. I ran the Big Sur Marathon again this year (April 26th). My time was slow (4:10) but I ran sick so I'm not too disappointed.
I've been programming the propeller microcontroller. I have fat16 secure digital card support working, and I have been building a robot based on the propeller. I'm also trying to build a retro-style microcomputer based on the chip. I've been spending some time developing Golly, a new Life program. See the results of my cube programming contest! I have some new results on Paterson's Worms. Want to see the various names your machine can be accessed by? I like to swing dance when I can; you can't beat Rob and Diane for classes and fun! I just released a version of Hash Life and a companion display program called hlife. I did some investigations on a new and interesting Life Form. I have been competing on TopCoder. You might be interested in the Radical Eye Website. I'm a founder of Instantis, a startup in Sunnyvale. The official dvips web page still needs some updating. I recently wrote a ray tracer as part of a programming contest. I am co-inventor on seven patents. Can you solve one of my favorite puzzles? Some places I go to frequently:
