ZOMG! I’m just going to write it once but you can pretend it is repeated for about ten pages. Robotic ball, controlled by your smartphone. And it glows. It’s like all your CJ glow pron dreams come true at once. Oh yes it is. Don’t try and say otherwise.
GoSphero’s Channel has lots more videos of it scaring kids and chasing cats and that sort of thing, or you can check out their website: gosphero.com
I for one welcome our new robotic…. etc.
Valerie sent me this video. Josh, Valerie and Antti playing with heavy sticks.
I love the staff spinning ideas coming out of these guys. Valerie was also at the infamous berlin workshops, and I can see a massive change in her stylin’. Love it.

New 25 minute juggling film from Arjan Groenendijk:
Made in Taiwan, as the title implies, is shot in Taiwan over a period of 6 weeks during Arjan’s internship at MHD. The editing is done by Martijn Halekor and the music is provided by Bas Septer (Substrate). The collaborative effort between these three creators has resulted in a 25 minutes long diabolo film. The 10 chapters contain Arjan’s unique diabolo manipulations and innovative, technical diabolo juggling.
