05/18/2002 - More Links
added...
I learned recently that there are more art forms of
manipulation than I ever imagined. Just as some examples,
the balisong (also known as a butterfly knife) and the
Zippo lighter each have their own community of 'manipulators'
(I don't know the correct term for them). Anyways, the
links show sites that
teach you how to do tricks with these unusual(?) objects.
05/16/2002 - Pentix,
a hot site!!!
 I've just received an e-mail
telling me that Pentix "was selected as a Hot Site
in today's edition of USATODAY.com". To see what
they say about the site, click on the banner to the
left.
I'm truly honored to receive this award, not only because
it's my work, but also because it proves that Pen Spinning
isn't just a silly passtime. Hehe, I always believed
that pen spinning has potential.
04/28/2002 - 8 new
tricks added to the Videos
section.
Videos section updated,
this time with 8 new tricks. One major change: Due to
the time limitation I have to create new videos, I will
no longer bother to shoot the videos against a clean
white background. Nonetheless, I still tried to keep
the background as clean as possible (comments about
the change are welcome).
Here are the new videos: Thumb
Snap, Snap
Flip, Infinity
Normal [side
view], Triple
Normal, Devil's
Sonic, Backhand
Tracer, Fake
Triple Normal, Sonic
Bust.
04/21/2002 - Not
really an update, just a sign that I'm still alive.
:)
Since I have been very busy lately, no new techniques
or videos were added. However, while you wait for the
next update, check the Links
section as most categories have new links.
04/02/2002 - First
two handed trick added...plus some updates in other
areas of the site.
Videos section updated.
This update brings a new category of tricks: 'Two Handed
Tricks'. This is the beginning of some really advanced
tricks (for those who asked for). In the future, there
might be more tricks added and also the possibility
for other categories, such as 'Dual Pen Tricks'.
In case you didn't notice, I added a new little feature
on this page. The 'Tell a Friend...' form (located
on the left center of this page) can be used as a quick
way to tell your friends about this site (your friend
will receive a automated e-mail from Pentix).
Updated the 'Add/Change
Profile' form in the Pen
Spinners section. It is now better organized and
got a new look as well (tested under IE5/Netscape6).
Also, for those who like to get in touch with other
pen spinners, I added support for the Yahoo! Instant
Messenger as well as the MSN Messenger.
03/25/2002 - Finally
got some time to update the site...
Added a new juggling site (Malabarismo.net)
to the Links page. The
webmaster of the site has recently asked me to do an
interview
(which is in Spanish and English) for his site. What
does this mean? That you get to know more about me and
this site (I knew you cared ;p). Oh, and for the curious
ones, there's also some photos of myself (I can't believe
I never had the time to put any before).
Ok, just so this wouldn't be another boring update
without much content, I added a new
trick (magicians will know where I got the idea
from) to the Videos
section. More new tricks are to come in a few days.
Just be patient...
03/01/2002 - Updated
Pen Spinners section.
I finally decided to change the look of the Pen
Spinners section. The new layout should look cleaner
and easier to read.
