·         There was a durth of news this week, so instead we have pretty pretty pictures – Makenzie Finley emailed us to give us the heads up on these -s These are some examples of anodization done by Vendetta.  There are from his flickr site, but they got my attention when they sy blog posted them.  Let’s enjoy.

·         News from the land of HSpin – Marko Akkanen wrote us to make sure we got this news – Chris Kayaz has posted on their blog some of the latest and future happenings at HSpin including… Weapon Of Choice linup, this line of modular yo-yos will allow players to select their preferred yo-yo features from 3 parameters, if the yo-yo is too heavy, bearing is too big, too much kick back, there are 6 V shaped yo-yos in the line and each can be selected with a different bearing, weight or rim weight.  ALSO… Hadrian Benecure is now part of the HSpin network!  Hadrian left CLYW a few months back, and it’s exciting to see him in a new opportunity.
