A fair ammount of this was recorded also, if anyone is interested. I think Saturday it is mostly just 3x3 finals, but we got and a lot of sunday on ohioopen1. Probably should've recorded all of both days...

Great idea,what kind of bandwith is needed for 5 webcams to upload to justin TV? How many computers did you use....?
 
Well, we're finally back from our trip, so I thought I should mention my feelings about it.

Of course, for BLD it was a complete disaster weekend for me. My first 4x4x4 BLD was off by only 2 corners, and my first 5x5x5 BLD was off by only 2 + centers, but they weren't all that great times anyway. The 5x5x5 BLD DNF was 16:50 or so. But I just couldn't hit a big cube BLD all weekend. I actually have had 8 DNFs in a row on 5x5x5 BLD, and it's still going. Hopefully the ninth one will be the charm?

And for multi, I realize now I can't do multi without earplugs. It was just too hard to keep it all in memory. But I hung in there and got 6/10.

Anyway, I did have one good accomplishment - I now have a successful solve in EVERY official event in the WCA! Unfortunately, I'm still lacking one possible average, since I DNFed the second feet solve. (I hit the reset button on the timer while stopping it after a perfectly successful solve, probably around 2:30 or so. :() Anyway, here's the longest list like this in the database:

Mike Hughey (USA)

Woohoo!

Might I point out that Mr. Hughey is really cool and I am jealous of his super cool family and his sooper dooper cool daughters. I could only dream of having kids like his :o

Thanks so much for this, Dene! The girls really appreciated your kind words. And you're really the coolest, too, Dene!

Edit: The girls said I really should add, "Dene is such a sweetie-pie!" :)

Oh, and it was quite ridiculously unfair during the boxing match, Dene. I had way too big of a reach advantage. Without that, you would have very easily beaten me, I'm sure.

Why are you back... on Monday? The competition was over on Sunday, right?

Wow, what is this? I miss just one, and I miss out on all sorts of fun! I ended up getting clobbered at lacrosse game... Not fun :(

We tend to make family vacations of our cubing trips. This time we decided to go to COSI in Columbus today. It's a GREAT place to take kids. We were planning on staying for 3 or 4 hours, but we wound up being there for 7 hours, from opening to closing, and actually wishing we had a while longer. It was a wonderful vacation from start to finish. (Well, except for the total BLD failures. :))

Yep - it was a great time. Sorry you had to miss it!
 
True, Mike's kids are so well behaved...and helpful!

It shouldn't be long before the littlest one starts competing. She told me she wants to learn when she's five. :p

I actually wanted to hold a competition at COSI... last year I initially wanted to hold the Cincy Spring comp there. It really is a neat place. Unfortunately, it is ridiculously expensive to rent space there.

I'm glad you had a good time, though. :)

Awww really?
It's a shame I won't get to see you guys any time soon. By the time I do the girls will be well grown up and will have forgotten me :p

And yea that boxing was quite crazy. It was impossible to focus on punching and cubing at the same time :D
 
I did try to go for his cube, but he kept a firm grip :p. Also it was hard when his glove was constantly beating my head :p .

I have a video of about 50s from near the end of the Bob fight. I will try to get it up tomorrow although I'm not guaranteeing anything. It isn't the best part of the fight, as they are both pretty wasted :p
