Thoughts and ideas of a dyslexic designer/developer
It was Leena who point me towards this tweet from @allontheboard.
Let’s celebrate the many positive aspects of being neurodiverse and break every stigma. You are not alone.

This is so great on so many levels and I recommend reading through the tweet replies.
Day 13: Up whip to 360 Duicide
So following the Upwhip and 720 Duicide, Here is the combo and I can’t tell you how much fun and impressive it looks.
The hardest thing is to get it on camera because its ground work then into a explosion in the sky with a high duicide.
High because you really need time to get into position and catch the falling diabolo.
Day 12: 720 degree duicide
When I first saw a Duicide, I couldn’t get my head around how daring it was.
I realise I haven’t shown any suicide tricks yet but I had to show this one.
Throw the diabolo and sticks in the air, then catch them before they hit the floor. Very difficult but during the pandemic I have gotten extremely good at it.
This one is a 720 duicide and it looks good in front of the sunset.
Google Pixel’s come with 3 years of supported updates, I knew this but it was a shock when I saw the note saying
Regular updates have ended for this device
Although its still night and day from some of the devices I have owned in the past. For example my work Nokia 8 is still stuck with Android 9 (Pie).
Day 11: The upwhip
If you thought the whip was hard, try the upwhip. Its a difficult trick and puts you in a difficult position for a combo.
I’m learning what I can do with it including a duicide.
Day 10: Dental floss
This trick is something you only want to pull off once in a while because the molars can only take so much. The less natural evolution of bounce around the head.
Day 9: Bounce around the head to stick grind to whip
Once you start doing combos, you have to actively stop yourself from doing them. I meant to do a bounce around the head but naturally threw the diabolo on to the stick and who doesn’t love a whip?
Theres been a bunch of press with older people and key workers having had their first shot of the Covid19 vaccine. This is great news of course but I got to say everytime I see someone having a injection in the press its still scary for me. Love to have something of a trigger warning for this all. But then again I’m not anywhere as bad as I use to be thanks to hypnotherapy.
I have always said I’m happy to wear a mask and will be wearing a mask till October next year I predict. The vaccine needs to go to the people who most need it, the people who protect the vulnerable, front line works, yes; but that list needs to include other nations.
The rush to get the vaccine is locking out poorer nations and I’m glad to see this is being highlighted and being acted on?
To be clear when its my time, I will get it even if it does mean yes I will need 2 shots within a month, not great for someone terrified of needles. I have no doubts about the vaccine(s) just the injections. Really wish I could take a pill or like Contagion, could be delivered via nasal spray. (you don’t need to write to me to explain why that couldn’t work, its been explained to me over and over again to me)
I won’t be surprised if having the vaccine will be a requirement for travel on planes in the near future. If not expect getting travel insurance to be troublesome to say the least. I don’t think it will be mandatory in the UK but
Day 8: Around the leg
Another classic diabolo trick and bit of crowd pleaser. Most can do it super close to the leg and with speed.
