I was by Macky to post something to this site, so here goes.

It all started because I was speaking with a co-worker one day about
the rubiks cube and how I had never figured out how to solve it. Well
he convinced me to take Macky's challenge: "07/09: I'd like to see
someone who doesn't know how to solve a cube learn to solve it
blindfolded. Would some brave soul please give it a try? It really
shouldn't be too hard. You'd be the only person in the world who can
say, "I can solve a Rubik's Cube, but only blindfolded" (ok, of course
you can use the blindfold method with you eyes open, but you know what
I mean)."

Well last night I finally successfully solved the cube for the first
time and it was blindfolded. There were many failed attempts before
that, and I started in July shortly after the challenge. So it only
took me ~4 months to get a completed solve. Now in my defense, I have
a wife and 2 kids (8 year old and a 16 month old), so I was only able
dedicate a few hours a week to this. Plus I was very slow in actually
memorizing the algorithms.

The experience was both fun and frustrating at the same time. The
frustrating part was of course thinking I had it solved then looking
at the cube and seeing it just as scrambled as when I started. The
funny thing is I have trouble looking at the cube now as I do the
algorithms, as I had forced myself to practiced all of them with my
eyes closed.

Yes, it is slow but I am working on the speed (my first attempt which
failed was 56 minutes).
