So I'm sitting here waiting for the helpLESS desk to answer the phone so that my computer problem can be fixed, when I spot the most amazing thing ...

Has anybody else used the ball from their trackball for contact juggling?

The track ball is on the small size but it really doesn't make much of a difference because my hands are small.

Gelfling is a he...

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.

I have myself a nice pretty acryllic contact ball.
I have been practising it a little bit for a few months now.
and i can easily say that it is one of the hardest things i have ever tried to learn. i can tell that even if i practised hard for several years i would still suck at it.

But. its very fun. the crystal clear ball is very sexy. and people ask me how the ball sticks to my hand when i do the standard wave thingy.

in other words. Contact juggling is GROUSE

Not - really they would get in the way a lot with my current life style - if they were detachable then yes that would be great or better still if they could be internal and then emerge when needed, that way I wouldn't loose them. Actually I wish that were the case with all my external body parts. Then I wouldn't wake up with a dead arm or whilst running things wouldn't knock into other things etc.
