A whole bunch of pictures, most of which I took during the production/design phase of the cube. Some were taken by other using their iphones and sent on the grooviks email list.

Typing Space Invaders
This an interesting game to learn how to type fast. I remember programs like that when i first started using computers but they were booooring. This one combines something like space invaders with typing. Its fun but it doesn’t teach *how* to type. My own typing is a weird auto didactic weirdness that has very little to do with actual 10 finger typing. I use most fingers on my left side but rarely more then my thumb and my index finger on my right hand, except for the little finger or ring finger for backspace. But I’ve done it for long enough that my typing speed is not bad and i dont have to look at the keyboard. Anyway, a game that would recognise which fingers you used and would give negative points for using the wrong one would be cool; more feedback; more reinforcement learning.

Mike’s back on the web :)
Right, so finally I’ve succumbed and bought some webspace. Now I’ve begun the the process of consolidate my old webpages (My personal page which has been down for at least two years, the AMS page and the guitar tabs page) and my blog (my blogging efforts have been swiftly killed by that cube project that happened this year). If i find the time i’ll also put some stuff on here about the MD software I wrote for my PhD thesis and various other projects I’ve done over the years. I’m excited to have a web presence again !
The first thing to do though is to recall the process of building the Groovik’s Cube, before my memories fade…
