			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Puzzlemasters &#8211; if you&#8217;ve already figured out how to solve Rubik&#8217;s cube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBqaOs6omrI">in under 9 seconds flat</a>, you&#8217;re probably in need of a new challenge. Well here something that should keep you busy for at least 30 seconds. These insane Rubik&#8217;s cube derivations combine the power of multiple cubes to provide a really dastardly puzzle challenge.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-19041  aligncenter" title="conjoined_rubiks_six_cubes" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/conjoined_rubiks_six_cubes.jpg" alt="conjoined_rubiks_six_cubes" width="600" height="489" /></p>
<p>Shown above is the mother of all puzzles, a conjoined sextuplet of cubes to keep you on your toes. But if you&#8217;re more of a puzzle amateur like me, I think the triple should provide ample challenge.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19040" title="triple_conjoined_rubiks_cube" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/triple_conjoined_rubiks_cube.jpg" alt="triple_conjoined_rubiks_cube" width="600" height="479" /></p>
<p>After you finish that, you can graduate on to the quadruplet version.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19039" title="quadruple_conjoined_rubiks_cube" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/quadruple_conjoined_rubiks_cube.jpg" alt="quadruple_conjoined_rubiks_cube" width="600" height="273" /></p>
<p>And then the quintuplet. It&#8217;s all a bit like Mr. and Mrs. Rubik took too many fertility drugs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19042" title="quintuplet_rubiks_cubes" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/quintuplet_rubiks_cubes.jpg" alt="quintuplet_rubiks_cubes" width="600" height="209" /></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re ready to have your mind bent, you can find all four versions of these conjoined Rubik&#8217;s cubes over at <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/search.dx/search.conjoined">DealExtreme</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look at this beautiful Quin lamp from California artist Bathsheba Grossman. Notice anything special about it, D &amp; D fans? It&#8217;s Bathsheba&#8217;s exploration on the dodecahedron. It&#8217;s so much more than a twelve-sided die though.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4992" title="quinmain2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/quinmain2.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="491" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The intricate perforations and curvy undulations are not only are a shining example of the seamless blending of technology and art, but also serve to create quite a spectacular display of light. Bathsheba is intrigued by the space between art and mathematics, and finds naturally recurring beauty in geometry as well as the new shapes that she creates.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4993" title="quin-lamp-trio" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/quin-lamp-trio.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="572" /></p>
<p>Bathsheba enjoys working with technology and in this case has collaborated with <a href="http://www.materialise.com/materialise/view/en/114832-.MGX+Design+products.html">Materialise&#8217;s MGX</a> to create this design using their  <a href="http://www.materialise.com/materialise/view/en/91755-Selective+Laser+Sintering.html">Selective Layer Sintering</a> (SLS) rapid prototyping technology. She frequently works in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing">3D printing</a> and has also mastered a technique called subsurface laser damage in the creation of her <a href="http://www.bathsheba.com/crystal/">intricate etched crystal sculptures</a>.</p>
<p>Find the Quin lamp at <a href="http://www.gnr8.biz/product_info.php?products_id=618">Generate</a>, and explore more sculpture with a highly scientific point of view on Bathsheba&#8217;s <a href="http://www.bathsheba.com/">website</a>.</p>
