One of my favorite movies is “PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS”, an American biographical drama film (Columbia Pictures, 2006), starred by WILL SMITH as Chris Gardner, an on-and-off homeless salesman who fight for a stockbroker internship position at Dean Witter. Without money or a wife, but fully committed to his son Christopher, Chris come across many challenges and troubles along his six month unpaid training to win the only position standing out the other 19 candidates.

The movie was based on true story of a rags-to-riches, Christopher Paul Gardner as written on his eponymous best selling memoir; but to make it more attractive, the screenwriter Steve Conrad added up a fictional scene: CHRIS GARDNER (Will Smith) solving RUBIK’S CUBE in a very limited time while sitting in a cab with the being-impressed stock broker. (Apparently, that is akin to Will Smith’s rubik scene thirteen years prior in an episode of 90’s popular sitcom “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” to impress a Princeton University recruiter.)

Will Smith vs Princeton recruiter; Not showing any interest in the school, he solves the rubix cube just for the heck of it.

On that cab, Will Smith tells the guy how to solve the RUBIK’S CUBE:

“It looks like it works around a swivel – the center pieces never move. So if it’s yellow in the center, that’s the yellow side. If it’s red in the center, that’s the red side.”

This video below contains The Pursuit of Happiness’ Rubik Cube’s scene featuring WIll Smith plus the Blindfold SpeedCuber Champion, Leyan Lo, the background of the origin of the Rubiks Cube and also Speed Cubers.

Will it work?
Will the Will Smith’s Secret of Solving Rubik’s Cube work?

I don’t know…I’m not one of the rubik’s geek. Actually, I’ve never made solving the Rubik unless  I “cut and paste” the colors. And with such kind of incapability, I think I deserve a RUBIK’s CUBE ACCESSORIES by JustCufflinks as they are designed not to be solved.
As notified by the manufacturer: “Just don’t try to ’solve’ them or you’ll need replacements!”

However, the accessories win the #5 newest and funkiest cufflinks – out of 10,000 JustCufflink’s collections so far. Made of … the RUBIK’S CUBE CUFFLINKS is available for the price of US $34.00.

The Rubik’s Cube was originally called the “MAGIC CUBE”. It was invented in 1974 by Hungarian Sculptor and professor of Architecture Ernő Rubik. The 3D mechanical puzzle, regularly measures 3 inches by 3 inches on each side and made up of multiple colors, gained a successful sensation in the 1980’s and won the German Game of the Year: Special Award for Best Puzzle. In this recent months, the puzzle has made its resurrections and got famous once again. As of January 2009, 350 million cubes have sold worldwide making it the world’s top-selling puzzle game.

Porsche Design presents all their latest collection in white including leather goods (bags, trolley/luggage, briefcase, credit card case, and coin purse), sunglasses, luxury shake pen, jewelry, lighter and cell phone. Wow, I think that’s incredible. White reflects all the color as what Isaac Newton said (simply recall the kaleidoscope of colors). And I interpret that the Porsche Design stuffs brings you all the colors of luxury and happiness.

The official explanation came from Roland Heiler, Managing Director of Porsche Design Studio said,

“The typical color of Porsche Design is black. The color white, on the other hand, stands for purity and also has the property that it highlights the shape of the product. These characteristics also make white an excellent medium for our minimalist design language.”

The new white collection conveys a technical look combination of white with metals like aluminum, titanium and stainless steel.

Wikipedia explains about Isaac Newton’s theory of color:

From 1670 to 1672, Newton lectured on optics. During this period he investigated the refraction of light, demonstrating that a prism could decompose white light into a spectrum of colors, and that a lens and a second prism could recompose the multicolored spectrum into white light.

He also showed that the colored light does not change its properties by separating out a colored beam and shining it on various objects. Newton noted that regardless of whether it was reflected or scattered or transmitted, it stayed the same color. Thus, he observed that color is the result of objects interacting with already-colored light rather than objects generating the color themselves. This is known as Newton’s theory of color.

In the middle ages, Columbus and other great explorers made key voyage relying on classical world atlas. As they found new lands, the voyages also enriched the world map. Surely, the route and places they landed were very important to the world.

What about the place or city where you married? Or where you had the honeymoon? Or maybe it’s the place your children were born? I believed the city was mean so much to you, keeping so much memories; eternalizing the joy and happiness.

To commemorate your meaningful moment, these sterling cufflinks will feature any city you chose from an antique world atlas under a bubble of magnifying resin. You may have two different cities featured or choose one city for a matching set.

The dimension is approximately ½” diameter. Its back and map mounting are fully made from a brushed, oxidized sterling silver.

Designed by Anne Holman from Columbus – Ohio, The Custom Antique Map Cufflinks is worth US $105.00.
