Pete Redmond of Dublin, Ireland had his cube solving robot Rubot II on display at the UK Open on 18 Nov 2006. It solves cubes in 30-40 seconds while playing appropriately robot-y music and talks to people.
More info about Rubot and how it works is at Pete Redmond's website: http://www.mechatron s.com/rubotii.htm
At the Rubik's Cube US Open 2007 in Chicago, Adam and Jeremy attempt to teamsolve a custom built giant 2x2 and fail miserably.
Teamsolving is hard when it's between two people who use different methods :P
Dan Dzoan assembles a cube in a jar in just over 4 minutes. I fumble around with my own cube jar assembly off camera, because I am a noob at cube-in-jarring.
The lighting in my living room sucks. The timer said 4:03.xx
My first of three blindfold solves at the US Open in Chicago (June 16-17, 2007). Looking back at it, this solve could have been so much faster. Check out my retardedly slow N-perm towards the end of the solve :P
Total time was 2:13.64 (video starts right before I put the blindfold on). Thanks to Mitchell Stern who took this video.
I DNF a solve at the San Diego Open 2008. Audience tricks me by applauding. My judge had started writing my time down when I realized it wasn't solved.

Another ninja solve caught on video! I am so slow at 4x4. Double parity FTL.
I lost a bet and had to wear a ninja mask for all my solves at Berkeley Spring 2008. Thanks to Lucas Garron for the video.
