Wow, it's been a long time since this was updated! I've thought for a long time that the navigation on the site is too confusing. There's also older videos that got orphaned during previous updates and new videos that never got linked. I'll do a bigger update in the future, but hopefully a little table of contents will help out in the meantime. I also fixed some text guides that were broken and made all the pages more consistant with each other.

Well, it's been about 5 months since the last update. I actually recorded a bunch of videos about a month ago, but didn't get a chance to upload them. Last night (and tonight), I recorded more of them, so this will be a super-update! Not as many pure teaching videos in this update, but a couple are there, as well tricks I've come up with, stuff I've been taught, and general showing off. Here they are. I hope you enjoy them! =)

(BTW, I haven't had a chance to label or categorize the tricks yet, so I just lumped them into a New Videos category for now. I hope to get all of that organized within a couple of days.)

Lots has changed lately (finally!). I fixed a couple of videos that weren't working on the string tricks page. Some pages have been translated to Esperanto (more work needs to be done, but link is above Home for the curious).

I've also changed the directory structure of the site (sorry this will kill some of your bookmarks) so that the highest level is based on a particular skill toy. The more I pondered my site's design, I realized that most people coming here would be looking for stuff for a particular topic (like yo-yos or jitter rings) instead of a medium (videos or guides). In the end it just makes more sense this way...

What is left to be done? The guide pages need to be integrated into the rest of the site, freestyle videos need to be put up, the other skill toys like jitter rings need to go up, and just about everything needs to be translated to Esperanto (especially the guides). Speaking of the guides, I want to re-write them at some point. After re-reading them lately, I can see a lot of stuff isn't as clear as it could be. Of course everyone wants more instructional string trick videos, so I will try to get more of those up soon. :)
