        Off string yo-yo!

        Haven’t pay attention to yo-yoing for many years, just catching up to the “off string yo-yo” innovations, as in yo-yos that can be completely detached from the string.

        Brief explanation of the physics involved:

        Then it hit me that it’s just a miniature version of a traditional Chinese circus act, like these:

                  30 minutes talk followed by 40~50 minutes Q&A.
                  Quite a few gems here and there.
                  The one idea about “capitalizing a bunch of kids” that came up in the Q&A really piqued by interest. 😄

                        Super old Hong Kong kung fu classic: Buddha’s Palm

                        These two (out of a series of four) are from around 1964, many years before Bruce Lee came onto the scene to show the world how it’s done.

                        By modern standards, these are poorly produced movies — simplistic script/plot, mediocre acting/direction, bad animal costumes, worse than cartoonish “special effects”, forget about period authenticity ... they are really, really bad.

                        Nonetheless this series of movies brought a lot of foundational kung fu mythologies to the silver screen, their many elements are widely derived, referenced, or otherwise paid homage by later kung fu movies, novels, and graphic novels.

                              RWBY: Volumes 1 through 4 now available on YouTube.

                              The animation style gets a bit to get used to, but you get used to it very quickly, and the action sequences are GREAT !!!

                              Link to video

                              The above links to Volume 1, the YouTube side bar on the right should take you to the other volumes. Enjoy!

                                No need to understand the audio, just watch the video.
                                1 through 8 can be boiled in water.
                                9 through 14 can only be steamed.
                                15 & 16 are for deep frying.
