At Falmouth, someone mentioned (can't remeber who) that poi spinners either fall into the category of Geek (possably nerd) or Hippy.
So what one do you fall into??

Could you explain the difference for us, as regards spinners?
I'm definitely a geek, always and in all areas of my life, but I'm not sure what your Falmouth friend meant exactly.

there are shades of grey here. we're too complex a creature to pigeonhole as 100% anything but human  and that can be taken as a really technical geeky or spiritually hippy conclusion to draw!

Naw, bender, the concept could be either but the presentation is pure Geek. The Hippy version would be "hey, we're all, like, human, you know? Like there's all these shades of grey? Why do we have to, like, um, ...pigeonhole everyone, you know? I think we should all just get along."
That's the short version, of course. :-)

Saying that, as a reader of slashdot.com Their motto is 'news for nerds, stuff that matters'
Does that make me a geek or a nerd, and a poi spinning one at that.

i think that the combination of the peeps on hop are two mixed to file em into only two categories. of course, there may be geeks, hippys and gippys on here, but there are so many others. there cud even be a homocidal maniac in here sumwhere.....

 Wait a sec ... when did hippies start talking like valley girls?? 
just teasing you xopher ... 
and I'm neither a geek nor a hippy - I'm just your average, everyday, run of the mill dork.

if a geek is a technically adept person,
and a hippy is an earthy person,
then you can call me....

I wouldnt consider myself either of these, cause I dont take drugs and I just dont fit the image of a geek.
I would see myself as more of a dancer.

You guess...? You the hippest hippy i know faberge. I'm def leaning more toward the geek side. I'd like someone to define what a geek is though. Its very important that everything in the world is clearly defined and categorised so that i dont get distracted while im spinning

Um.
Doesn't believe in peace, love and far out man.
Equally doesn't believe Star Trek is true.
So that makes me awkward and possibly socially inept.

I'm a hippy at heart, although I do have far too many technological devices to be an old school hippy  ... so on reflection I'm probably a geek too.
Whatever I am perceived to be by others - I'm perfectly happy to be it
