Maker Birthdays: Ernő Rubik

Born on this date in Budapest in 1944, Hungarian architect ErnÅ‘ Rubik (Wikipedia) would go on to invent, in 1974, a classic mechanical puzzle, originally known as the “Magic Cube,” that would eventually become an icon to an entire–and pivotal–generation of young geeks. Today Rubik is 66. Boldog szuletesnapot!
