the death of rubik's cube

"Knowledge is a trick in the age of the internet.  At any moment, you can become instantly and temporarily knowledgeable on any topic through 3G networks and wikipedia mobile.  However, some people have information stored in themselves that they can summon at any time, information they use spontaneously from their being.  This is devotion, information that is learned, invited, and accepted into who you are at your core as a person.  Information that is felt, perceived, and stored is love.  Goods produced and services performed via this love are one's craft in life.  Every human being on earth needs a craft."

I wrote this on the train to work one morning.  Why the death of Rubik's cube? A student here gave me a sticker with a Rubik's cube on it, one square incorrect.  I thought about how it was no longer an engaging puzzle.  Why?  At one point, there was an intellectual endeavor to understand and deduce how to solve the puzzle.  Today, the magic is gone -- solving a Rubik's cube is just a trick you can find on YouTube or other sites.  I put the sticker on my watercolor palette -- it is a reminder that painting is my craft, that I have taken into my being information on the properties of painting and picture making, and that the internet does not have "tricks" to understand its workings.
