Farewell to the Seniors of 2019: Posted on May 22, 2019 by Johann; This coming June, Princeton University and Princeton Cube Club bids farewell to Sam, Matt, John, Adeniji, and myself as we all graduate with the Class of 2019. It's been fun hanging out with you all at cube tables, competitions, and club dinners!

I Fixed The Website Finally: Posted on September 12, 2018 by Johann; Exactly a year ago I posted that I started adding pictures from Princeton Winter 2016 to the slideshow, resulting in slow loading times. Today I fixed the loading times so the homepage should load again as normal. Only took me a year. Cube tables return October.

New President: Posted on January 24, 2018 by Johann; We have a new president, John Li! If you are subscribed to our listserv, please stay tuned to any new updates from him. Also, his Youtube channel teoidus now has 197 subscribers!

Calendar of Future Events Updated; Misc. Info: Posted on October 5, 2017 by Johann; Please check the "Meetings" page to see the updated schedule for cube club events for the rest of 2017. In other news, I want to congratulate all the podiumers from Princeton Fall 2017 and to all the competitors and volunteers for taking part in the competition! And in unrelated news, I'd like to give another shoutout to teoidus who now has 166 subscribers!

Website Updates; Important dates: Posted on September 12, 2017 by Johann; I finally started adding pictures from our last competition, Princeton Winter 2016, to the slideshow. Yay, changes. Also, take note of the following dates. September 16, 2017 will be our club's first cube table of the year. September 23, 2017 will be Princeton Fall 2017.

Help teoidus Reach 100 Subscribers!: Posted on April 1, 2017 by Johann; On February 19, 2017 teoidus (John Li, treasurer/web page designer) had 80 subscribers; today, he has 95 subscribers. If you help teoidus reach 100 subscribers by the next cube table on April 15, we will have a celebration party at the cube table! (Surprises to come; and don't let the post date fool you!)

Princeton Splash: Posted on March 31, 2017 by Johann; On April 29, 2017 we will be hosting a class on solving a Rubik's cube for high schoolers as part of Princeton Splash, a program encompassing classes on various topics taught by Princeton students. As such, our cube table planned for that day is cancelled. If you are a high schooler who either has never solved a Rubik's cube before or knows someone who hasn't done so, registration opens today, and there are just 12 spots, which will fill up fast, so I encourage you to sign up. After just 24 hours, the class is now full.

Website Updates: Posted on February 18, 2017 by Johann; All of the pages on the cube club website, excluding "Home" and "Links," are now up to date. A calendar of cube tables can now be found under "Meetings." Also, the following 3 news posts correspond to the dates on which they would have been posted.
