MCDELIVERY FAMILY NIGHT

Thanks to McDonalds for providing this dad blogger with a MCDELIVERY NIGHT that included a complimentary DoorDash delivery, free meal plus a puzzle and deck of cards to play with for an evening of family time. With the pandemic having me mostly working from home, my wife completely doing her job remotely and my kids virtually schooling from our house it was nice to make an effort to have someone deliver dinner then turn off our electronics and tune into each other to solve a jigsaw and play some euchre. Thanks McDonalds for hosting our MCDELIVERY NIGHT!

A cold rainy night seemed the opportune time for us to try out DoorDash for the first time. The app was easy to use and kept us on track of the progress of our order. We were promptly notified when the restaurant received our order, a driver was assigned to us, when he picked up our meal, and even tracked his route and progress in delivery. I was messaged when the order was picked up from McDonalds and when the driver was approaching our driveway plus a map tracked the driver from pickup to drop off providing a delivery ETA time throughout the process. The whole process took about twenty minutes and our food was warm when it hit our dinner table. It was an excellent experience using DoorDash for a McDelivery.

I had a Quarter Pounder with Cheese and the rest of the family had Chicken McNuggets. Everyone had fries with their meal too. So that made putting together a puzzle of McDonalds fries extra fun. If you are short on time to make dinner or the weather isn't ideal for leaving the house, consider a MCDELIVERY NIGHT with DoorDash. 

HOW TO SOLVE RUBIKS CUBE

I have a love/hate relationship with Rubik's Cube. I love to play around with the puzzle but get infuriated that it always seems to end up a jumbled mess. And now my son want to join in the fun!

This year Rubik's Cube is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Wow! How time flies! I remember being in elementary school when these toys first came out. My parents said it was a fad but forty years later Rubik's Cube is still as popular as ever. Especially with people staying home during the pandemic and looking for ways to pass the time.

To mark this milestone year, the folks at Rubik's Cube want to make playing with the toy more entertaining and less frustrating for average joes like myself who stumble when it comes to solving the puzzle. So they're gone high tech! Now there is a FREE app that will walk you through solving Rubik's Cube.



Hold a Rubik's Cube you want to solve in the palm of your hand. The app will use your device's camera to track the moves you make on the real-life Rubik’s Cube and uses on-screen imagery to “paint” arrows on the Cube’s tiles via augmented reality to highlight which ways to twist and turn the puzzle.  The app’s audio and visual cues will give everyone the chance to solve Rubik's Cube.  Look for the Rubik's Official Cube app on Apple's App Store.

If you truly want to become a wizard at solving Rubik's Cube, there is also a new free tutorial on the official YouTube channel. It turns out solving this puzzle is all about algorithms. This video points out what these are and how to use them. Practice while watching this video and you can absolutely master the Rubik's Cube. Plus learning by the video feels a lot less like cheating then when you use Rubik's Official Cube app.
