strangepuzzle.com

strangepuzzle.com was a site run by Chris Hunt. It hosted JNetCube (arguably the first popular timing program) and videos from cubers before YouTube took off around 2006.

Here are some of the many videos from the site. The original files were wmv, although you’ll probably want to use the mp4 versions on modern browsers/devices.
