旋转的魔方，变幻的心情，多彩的人生

Every boy wants a Transformer in his childhood. So do I.
I like cubes, I like Transformers also.

The 3rd Mod Assembly of Mf8 will be hold on Oct 2 in GuangZhou,
I have to come up with some works.
So I put this out.

It has been printed on Shapeways, the package is on its way.
I’ve not get the real physical parts yet,
I can only show you the renderings now…
Here are some pictures. The animation of transforming will upload later.

Just got the new sample of 554, it is much better than the old one.
The mold was rebuilt and now it is in very good conditions.
It is just a sample for testing, so you can see it is not very smooth on surface.
Final version will be better.

The old problems no longer appear.

It turns very well .

All pieces are capped, no gap any more.

Designed some T-shirts for our Egg-Brothers.
They have been put into printing and will come out this weekend.
It will be very cool that we go to the beach wearing all these eggs :)

最近整理邮件，翻出了俺09年的一封辞职信，过这么久了，贴出来娱乐一下。哥不跟他们玩了，呵呵。
================================
吾兄XX：

君不见黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回。
君不见高堂明镜悲白发，朝如青丝暮成雪……
逝者如斯，不觉入职半年又一月矣。望岁首，得X兄眷顾，蒙XX抬爱，委以重任，寄予厚望，余诚惶诚恐。奈何时运不济，命途多舛，枉怀鸿鹄之志，未成燕雀之行，愧哉愧哉！
悦怡三尺微命，一介书生，虽未具经天纬地之韬略，却也有讲经办学之才干，然置身于市井，从业于商贾，诚非本意之所为，盖谋生耳。
故此请辞，悦怡拜别！
今当远离，临表涕零，不知所言。

Fully Functional 4×4x5 has hit the market !

You can see it at http://ayistoy.com/

Just take some photos:

The cube is 6×6x7.5 cm, about 180g.
Attached with 7-color stickers, each sticker has 5×5 pieces.

I’ve mod a 2 layers cheese before.
Now I bring a 3 layers one to you.
Some pieces are 3D printed, and others are casted.
I also print the stickers into rainbow version, I like this color.
I think it turns well.

Let’s see the pictures.

最近北区星巴克整了个市场活动，复原魔方六面（不限手法，不限时间，只要不是暴力破解），即可获得12盎司咖啡兑换券一张。
这可喜煞我们广大魔友，既有环境优雅的聚会地点，还有免费咖啡喝，纷纷倡议组团前去。
北京扫店团已经有所行动，并收获赠券若干。
大连团由于各位作息时间不统一，难以成行，遂各自行动。

上周六就和徒弟在和平广场店扫出两杯黑芝麻绿茶，本周一饭后又在单位附近万达店扫得下午茶一杯。
其他门店由于相距遥远，平日上班朝九晚五一直没有时间前去。
恰本周有机会在市内转悠，于是在网上一番详细搜索，找到具体位置所在，
仔细思量，优化线路，将行程设置得最为合理，借外出办事间隙，大肆扫荡了一番。

有的店很大度，拧出六面即赠兑换券一张；
其实就是本着娱乐的态度掺和一下，你用咖啡娱乐了我，我也用魔方娱乐了你，大家彼此都很高兴。
也有的店比较小气，必须先消费才可参与活动……
不给拉倒，不跟他们浪费时间，直接闪人。
最终扫店四家，两家有所收获，得赠券三张，顺带收徒弟两名，呵呵。

路线：
出发—>新玛特店—>百年城店—>三八广场办事—>人民路店—>友好广场店—>收队

今年的春天来得格外迟，四月中旬还相当冷呢，冻得我穿着棉袄大鼻涕流了一键盘。
到了五月份，终于有那么点春天的意思了。五一节这两天阳光明媚，春风和煦，正是放风筝的好时候。

街面上卖风筝的挺多，不过都是三角，放到天上都分不清哪个是自己的，太俗。
想买个沙燕，怎奈市面上极少，好不容易找到一家，刚一询价，人家开口就喊七十，简直是开玩笑啊，俺可不当这冤大头。

没卖的，俺就自己做！
想当年大学时候就和好友梁子一起做过一个，且经高人点拨，飞得不是一般高。
于是翻出去年冬天就准备好的一截竹棍，劈了、削了、弯了、绑了。
再找来两张颜色鲜艳的报纸糊上，门口诊所买两卷绷带，文具摊买一块钱线绳，ok，大功告成！
成本不到5块钱，样式虽然不如工业化产品美观，但是自己做的风筝飞天上，那感觉跟买来的绝对不一样。
约上兄弟与朋友，到海边广场展示一下成果，呵呵。
