Pjk, I can 3x3 bld, but ... there are things that I feel I can be more competitive in, such as big cube bld, and you might not see it yet, but multi bld =P
I laugh at the 0/8, I didn't know what would happen there, and its all a game to me

Rutgers was a great learning experience, Chris and I agree: you learn the most from DNFs, not from success.
However, on a big cube blindfolded solve, I'd rather sit there for half an hour and recall that one image that slipped from memory, and really push myself to recall it, just so I can get the solve. 3x3 bld is trivial to me, I get a lot more enjoyment out of my experiences with big cubes and multi blindfolded, I mean I make up some pretty crazy stuff. With a 3x3 bld, I just look at the cube and put on a blindfold shortly afterwards. I mean it is a great trick, but the reactions are amusing, and without a crowd, there isn't much drive. Perhaps I should feel differently, but we're all busy, and I'd rather get a laugh out of the stories from big cube bld that are non-existent in 3x3 bld.
