Rubik’s Phone

Oct 22 06 | 12:23 am

I frequently have all kinds of crazy ideas. Some of these ideas wind up being crazy good. Most of them are crazy bad. But generally, they just wind up going crazy nowhere because I don’t bother writing them down.

Until now:

This is an idea that I had earlier tonite while looking at George’s cell phone. I decided it would be really cool if you could flip around the screen, and the motion reminded me of a Rubik’s Cube. I decided that a phone that was shaped like a Rubik’s Cube would be super awesome. You could configure the phone however you like simply by rotating the faces, and since there would be nine screens, imagine how much cool stuff you chould show at once? It would be the ultimate in geek tech, because your non geek friends wouldn’t be able to reconfigure it to the point that they could use it.

I decided that this was good enough of a bad idea that it demanded to be photoshopped. I bring you: the Rubik’s Phone.

  1. They did an episode of family guy where someone went to the patent office. Einstein was the clerk, and he killed the guy and stole his idea of the Theory of Relativity.

    So if you decide to go to the patent office with your plans, make sure you tell Chris or someone how to beat Deception beforehand.

  2. Jelly,
    I have access to the source code, and with a little review, I would remember the entire game structure. So don’t worry, the secrets safe with me.

  3. What is it Chris, like a CVS library accessible by SMS, also using the Google API to upload daily to Google Docs? And rsync’d to your H: drive at school?

    Knowing you, Chris, you would probably have set that up.

  4. Actually quite the opposite. Chris formatted one of the four places in the world that the code existed. The other three were a CD with me at school, the web server, and a backup DVD.
