wil's 3rd glowstring video

If you want the specifics, there's discussion in the butterfly section on impossible vs bf.. but I don't think its very important, especially with your new style..

to be honest I liked the mixture of ideas, I just think some of the mind game stuff could use some developing, because at this point it won't work with you standing still (not enough effect though a very nice one) and also wont' work with you moving (since your not typically a mover, and I'm not sure if you are at the point where you are comofortable playing those games off different angles)... I haven't seen any of your straight freehand, so I can't say for sure.. right now it looks like your freehand focuses a lot on the front.. I think as your freehand develops to incorporate more turns and angles, so will your games.. I've never been much for freehand, and subsequently I've never been much at games.. but I've always seen the relation..

that's just my thoughts.. take it with a grain of salt if you want..

actually wil this is spherculism whihc embraces anything sphercular.. whihc includes freehanding, along with mindgames, along with contact juggling, etc.. its just, and I mean this in the most polite way, not a lot of glowstringers get techincal.. and unfortunately here at spherc, we have a tendency to get -REALLY- technical.. I, at least, take pride in that.. (the technical, not the lack of glowstringers..

again, this isnt to say that glowstringers aren't that technical, but they dont' embrace the side of it that we here at spherc tend to.. I regret that we dont have a strong glo populace, because we advocate stringing in all its forms.. whihc is why I encourage as many people to post vids and such here as possible.. In hopes, that perhaps we might turn more people on to it... I just think a lot of people don't give comments, even though they obviously have opinions (which goes for all sites..) I don't think they realise how important a simple 'I liked it' or 'I didnt like it' is to those that post...

:cry: or maybe that's just me..

actually.. the tech end of the conversation tends to exclude most everyone... not just glowstringers... the reason we ahve a stronger poi populace rather than glo populace tends to deal not in the age nor competence of the spinners.. it lies instead in the fact that more poi-ple are brought up on places like home of poi, where there isnt a wealth of videos.. and thus you learn to read what others are talking about or you fall behind.. also a lot of poiple don't have access to cams, so it makes it critical that you learn at least rudimentery skills of talking poi, lest you fall out of communication with others.. glostringers, tend to be kids, which have at their disposal a lot fo stuff us adults don't have.. its very common for kids to have their own computers (unlike a lot of us that are forced to share).. Its also common for kids to have a more disposable income.. (highschool and early college..) from what I gathered at one point, these kids pay stupd prices for sticks (ultras) and pay stupid prices for parties -35.. not to mention all these other odd and end 'goodies' that they purchase.. whihc again is something a lot of us don't have.. I for one pay spend a year on glowsticks (if that) and pay / year max to go to the 5+ parties I go to.. and always get my goodies for free.. which is why I don't have access to the funds like you guys do, and the same can be said for a lot of us, umm.. adults.. I guess is what we would be..

the difference being that you guys learn by vid, since almost all of you have one.. and thus dont comprehend any poi talk because you never had to.. its a skill you never needed nor developed..

we try to accomodate things as best as we can.. we have the poidia which defines any term that may confuse you.. and we try as best we can to supplement as many ideas as possible with video.. unfortunately getting a clear and precise video also takes time.. whihc is another feature a lot of us have..

so I'm sorry if you, like others feel excluded, because you can't follow what's going on.. the only thing I can say is that we are doing the best we can.. but we cant help, if you don't ask questions.. so if your not following something, don't hesitate to ask.. that's the quickest way to get around things..

as far as this "trinity" mvoe.. genereted on the computer... I'm not really sure what you are talking about.. but then again.. I don't have the best memory either.. I know what trinities are.. there's a file on them in poidia.. they aren't computer generated, nor are they hypothetical, nor sick (<-imo)

what I'm thinking about is the calabi-yau... whihc is computer genereated extradimensional topography... and it is hypothetical in the sense that the dimensional paths can be traced.. but calabi-yau come in many varieties of shapes, sizes, twists and turns, so its hard to say that this -one- is the yau, and not a yau.. and even then its more of a section of (or whole) routine to make.. since it involves playing with all sorts of depth changes (isolations, giant, etc..) as well as forced plane changes, and inversions.. the catch being that I think the most beatutiful ones would involve a bf base.. and frankly I dont know of anyone up on their bf work enough with insides, and inversions and what tnot to really pull one off.. but it doesnt mean we can't make some other more basic versions in the meantime..

no problem...

as far as the brat thing.. no I didnt mean to imply that, so I'm glad you didnt take it that way.. what made it click for me was when my younger sister had her own laptop that kicked the crap out of my old, handed-down computer.. I got mine in my 4 yr of college she got her's before her freshman year of high school.. One of my friends mj has son Kain, and he brought it up to me how Kain was growing up with so many things that he didnt have.. he has a computer and a tv with cable, and playstation 2 and what not.. and he just turned 4 last month.. just a lot more things are common these days and us geezers (lol) have to catch up.. but I'm glad you understand and I hope to see you around here more..

btw was the calabi yau the thing you were talking about? I think there should be a thread on it called 'is this a sphercular solid' or something to that effect.. not much poi discussion, more of inspiration..
