• DigiHoop – Kick Start

  Date: 2011.10.09 | Category: Hula Hoop News | Response: 0

  I recently learned about a project that two men have undertaken to develop a better LED hoop.  I quite honestly have never seen anything like it.

  This hoop has over 100 LED lights in it, which is much greater than your standard LED (I’m hope I’m getting the terminology correct).  At any rate, not only do you have more lights, but you have the capability to program them in whatever order you would like.  Have minis and want to sync them?  Easy breezy!  Want to program your hoop to match your hoop to the music you are dancing to?  No problem.  You use a magnetic devise to change programs.  It uses your computer to download the programs for the lights.  HUH?

  The video below has the founders describing what the product and project is.  I have offered up $ 250 to their kick start program.  Not only will that guarantee me a hoop once they are made, but it feels good to be supporting something I’m so interested in.   There is a demo of the hoop at the end of the video.

• Hula Hoop People Are Strange?

  Today I was scanning webpages for anything hula hoop and I cam across this funny story about a hula hoop lady.  Apparently… she must know something everyone else doesn’t because she is able to smile and have fun regardless of what is in the news.

  Isn’t it sad that many members of society have forgotten what it is like to just stop and have fun.  To stop and smell those proverbial roses.  To just… be?

  Hula hooping has brought many things to my life… It makes me pause.  It makes me contemplate my thoughts for more than thirty seconds.  It slows me down.  It helps me understand my children better.  It helps me… well… be me.

  Here is the link to the article, named People Are Strange.  What do you think? I think we hoopers are not the strange ones… I think it’s society that is the strange one.  But one thing I’m certain of…  I want to meet that hula hoop lady.  =)
