Denim garter belt and the wedding
Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Kiya and Demitra’s wedding was a blast and I did my best to live blog the event as it happened with my iPhone camera. You can see the wedding flickr set here.

As an extra treat, here are some pics of the denim garter belt that I made for Demitra. She wanted to surprise Kiya, so [...]

Here’s a little dig on the alleged burglar that accidentally uploaded a picture of himself on flickr from the stolen computer. You can read about it here if you haven’t already.

Serendipity on the 9:40 Dublin/Pleasanton
Thursday, September 27th, 2007

Last night I had plans with Matt (aka Bomarr Monk) to trade one of my denim wallets for a copy of his new cd “Freedom From Frightened Air” and a collection of mini documentaries.
Well, for whatever reason, Matt couldn’t meet up last night so the whole thing didn’t happen.
Skip to this morning… I jumped on [...]

Recent conversation between Cappy & myself @ Spindox:
Doc- “Hey David, how is my favorite eunuch administrator?”
Cappy- “Eunuchs. There are more than just one.”
Doc- “Wow, so you have your own army of eunuchs?”
Cappy- “Pretty much.”
Doc [pointing at Boxthor]- “So is Boxy in your eunuch army?”
Cappy- “No… He didn’t make the cut.”

Big Bad Doctor Popular
Friday, September 21st, 2007

I’m on the verge of the next busy season for a yo-yo pro, but I’ve already been getting some bigger gigs lately. Today I opened for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at a huge corporate gig in Santa Clara. I snapped a quick pic of BBVD right before I took off.
My goal is to make this [...]

Under where?
Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

Check out this new wallet I got from Freckleface’s Etsy page. I don’t see it on her page anymore (it was her “Family Jewels Wallet”), but I really dig her Coinilingus coin purses.
The Family Jewels wallet is an awesome piece, and it only cost $15 bucks, but I don’t think I’d be able to actually [...]

iPop
Monday, September 17th, 2007

Last night I made a prototype for a new addition to my Doc Pop craft line. It’s a wallet made for my iPhone out of tailored scraps of raw denim. The denim comes from a pair of black Imperials that matches my newest pair (did I mention I bought a pair of Imperial Kings?).
It’s based [...]

The Rosgana Challenge
Sunday, September 16th, 2007

My buddy Rosgana, from Indonesia, recently posted this cool picture challenge on yoyoing.com/news. I love his style, so fresh and so clean.
How many differences can you spot between the two pictures?
I found 8. Oh wait, 9.

So Cute
Thursday, September 13th, 2007

Here is a picture from an Indonesian yo-yo player named Rosgana of his daughter Hasya playing with a Doctor Popular Bolt yo-yo. Isn’t it cute?
And the daughter is cute too. This pic would make a great lolCat type meme. “I can haz yo-yo?”
Seriously, Rosgana is an awesome dude and an incredible artist. I sent him [...]
