Self Edge, the denim store I do alterations for, has recently announced their new Self Edge/Flat Head collaboration… on a yo-yo message board.
The new SExFH jeans, slated to be released in June, feature a gorgeous leather patch that reads “Fun Time Yo-yo” with a classic illustration of our favorite retro-winding double knob toy. Of course [...]
After a few weeks of constant work, I finally had some scratch to purchase a laptop to replace my old G4. Luckily, I had a friend at Six Apart that hooked me up with the person that handles their old inventory. They have a lot of PowerBooks in stock, as well as some PowerBook Pros [...]
Tomorrow morning (Tuesday) I catch an 8 am flight to Portland where I’ll be doing a huge yo-yo show at a the grand opening of the new Macy’s and meeting up with local yo-yoers and craftsers. I would stay in town longer but I have to be back in time for Cartoonist Conspiracy on thursday [...]

I’m back in SF from the National Yo-Yo Contest in Chico CA. I didn’t compete this year, which could explain why it was one of my favorite NYYCs in years. The freehand routines were great, as were most of the other divisions, but I honestly didn’t spend too much time watching the freestyles.
Aside from trying [...]

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.”

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 [...]
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.

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 [...]
