The method you've described for solving a 3x3 Rubik's Cube is a simplified version of a popular beginner's method. It breaks down the solving process into several stages, making it easier for beginners to understand and follow. Here's a summary of the method you've provided:
1. **Solve the White Cross on the Bottom**: Arrange the white edge pieces to form a white cross on the bottom layer. Match the edge colors with the corresponding centers.
2. **Solve the Bottom Corners**: Use the "R U R' U'" algorithm to solve the four corner pieces on the bottom layer, ensuring the white side is complete.
3. **Solve the Middle Layer**: Use a combination of moves to solve the middle layer so that the outer blocks match the color of the center. The exact moves depend on the position of the layer you are working on.
4. **Solve the Yellow Cross**: First, create a yellow cross on the yellow side. Then, orient the four yellow edge pieces to match their neighboring colors.
5. **Solve the Four Edge Pieces on the Top Layer**: Align one already-solved edge piece with the matching color on its side. Use a modified algorithm to get the remaining edges in the correct positions.
6. **Orient the Yellow Corners on the Top Layer**: Position the corners with the correct colors relative to the centers. Use a slightly modified algorithm to do this.
7. **Solve the Yellow Corners on the Top Layer**: Solve the corners one by one without rotating the entire cube. Use a modified algorithm to accomplish this.
This method is suitable for beginners who want a step-by-step approach to solving the Rubik's Cube. With practice, individuals can become proficient at solving the cube using this algorithm. Keep in mind that there are more advanced methods and algorithms for faster solving times, but the one you've described is a great starting point.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

The 2025 Bibliophile Advent Calendar Special
There’s a moment every December when the world finally exhales. For me, it usually happens right after I pull out my favorite winter mug and I take that first deep breath of the season. The lights glow a little softer. The books on my shelves seem to lean toward me, waiting. And I remember why winter reading feels like a ritual.

So You Decided To Become a Nurse Practitioner:
So you decided to become an "Advanced Practice" nurse. Congratulations!... is what I would say if this was a good idea. Grad school? In this economy? What were you thinking? Likely it was something along the lines of either 1) “I've seen these other chucklefucks do it— Why can't I?” or even 2) “I've got a nice career, I should shake it up. I miss feeling like I have no clue what I'm doing.”
