10 ring practice
Category: Juggling, Videos | 
Leave a Comment
I took the camera to juggling practice today. Last week I practiced 10 rings for 20 minutes of my workout every day and I felt solid and consistent day after day. However, my hands needed a break over the weekend, because that’s really a pounding. I had several good flashes of 10 and 12 catches, [...]

Juggling and Power 90X
Category: Juggling | Leave a Comment
So I started this post a week ago and it’s amazing how little time there is left in the day to write about it after 1 to 1.5 hours of workout plus 1 to 1.5 hours of juggling practice.
Anyway, the big experiment is to see what kind of effect the P90X workout would have on [...]

Austin Jugglefest Part 3
Category: Fest, Juggling | Leave a Comment
Sunday afternoon is always a melancholy affair. It’s sad when a fest has to end. But I’m getting ahead of myself. The day started out slow. As a matter of fact, I was the second person in the room so I decided to clean up empty bottles off the floor and generally clean up the [...]

Austin Part 2
Category: Fest, Juggling | Leave a Comment
Saturday was a great day to be a juggler. The gym was busy, but not so packed that you couldn’t carve out a spot. Perhaps the result of the economy, but it that had a plus side too; airfare was cheap. Just ask Vova who suprised the crowd by coming to hang out. Cool.
There was [...]

Another Texas Juggling Society festival is underway, and it’s turning out to be a good one. Lots of great talent is in the room. Dan was scouring the room for renegade talent, Cate was standing on one hand, its all good. The crazy props are out, there’s a hand driven wheelie cycle thingy out (it [...]

Juggling is still legal
Category: Geek | Leave a Comment
I was reading a post on dvorak.org/blog about a photographer who entered an Amtrak photo contest, only to be arrested for taking pictures of the very trains Amtraks PR group invited him to do. The article is linked from a blog called carlosmiller.com. The tag “Photography is not a crime” is quite catchy. Makes me [...]

10 Rings, Progress?
Category: Juggling | Leave a Comment
Throughout most of 2008 I’ve added 10 rings to my regular practice, instead of once a week when I “feel up to it” or when I’m just feeling brave. This last week I’m now seeing the fruits of that labor. Yesterday I had 12 catches with 10 several times in a row in an async [...]

5 Club backcross-nirvana
Category: Juggling | Leave a Comment
It happens once in a great while, some trick you’re working on finally “clicks”. I’m not talking about the minor “oh wait! I think I have this now” moments, I’m talking about “Oh My GOD!” moments when the sky opens up and the clouds part, etc. I just had such a moment.
I was practicing over [...]

Tuesday IJA action
Category: Fest, Juggling | Leave a Comment
It seems to take longer to recover from these long road trips, but I’m finally feeling myself again. My first impression of the festival, boomerang is the new ball and can. Enough said. Otherwise, young whipper-snappers are attempting impossible 5 club tricks, like we use to try 3 club tricks we couldn’t do 20 years ago. [...]

The thousand mile trek to Lexington, Kentucky is about to begin. This feels easy because the last IJA festival was in Winston-Salem North Carolina, 18 hours away. However, google says Lex is only 16 hours away, a mere jaunty. Among the almost forgotten items on the to-do list are: setting my out [...]
