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 [...]
It was weird, I worked on my 1A routine throughout the week and decided to enter the open division at the last minute. I did a pretty good 1A one minute freestyle, then improvised a freehand 3 minute routine. When it came time to do my three minute 1A freestyle I was really excited, [...]
w00t! The Chronicle article is up, you can read it online here. Be sure to check out the cool video too. I seem to have barely made it into the article, which is a shame ’cause I said some neat stuff, but that’s how this stuff always goes. BTW, I’m using a B.I.S.T., that’s a [...]
The TV shot didn’t happen this morning. Right when I got to the Exploratorium, the news team called and said they couldn’t make it due to a huge fire they had to cover.
That’s the second trip to the Exploratorium this week, it’s a long crummy MUNI ride early in the morning. I’ve got too much [...]
I did an interview with the Chronicle today, for their paper and online editions and also for their video blog. The guys from the paper were really cool, so I was really relaxed and “unfiltered” during the interview. So now I wonder if they’ll post the part where I said “all my friends are professional [...]
Anti-Yo will soon be releasing their newest yo-yo, and they have asked me to design and manufacture the bags for it.
The “Risky Busine$$” should start shipping this week. It is an updated version of “The Busine$$” that is made from X (wherein X represents some ungodly expensive rare metal that I can’t recall the name [...]
In case you missed it, be sure to check out Eric Wolff’s fantastic photo set from this year’s World Mod Contest (as well as his excellent summary of the entries here).
Eric, an amazing yo-yo modifier in his own right, has been one of the Mod Contest’s judges since it’s first year and posted a brief [...]
As most of you know, Shannon and I went to Saint Louis over a week ago. We left on a Thursday and I haven’t slept in San Francisco in 9 days. It’s been terrible, I’m so pissy. Seriously, I was feeling crazy homesick from the second I got off of the BART. I was [...]
Chris from MoYo was cool enough to give me a Missouri State Yo-Yo Contest hat.
I decked it out with a MoYo pin he gave me and also added a matching sterling silver chain where along the top.
It’s a killer look, if I do say so myself, and I’m planning on doing my next run of [...]
I did a series of gorilla designs for a possible client the other day. In the midst of the sketches, I whipped out this yo-yoing ape drawing.
