Learning to juggle badly is rewarding and relatively easy. I recommend it.

Fascinating! Now I need to check if there are "dog resitant" examples, because our juvenile Border Collie surely will shred most materials rather fast …

Stumbled on this, an absolutely fascinating exposition on crafting bean bags for juggling/footbagging. Well structured & written, hundreds of pages of pdf's.

On the meta, there's a bittersweet feeling - discovering these "early internet" (i.e. pre-enshittification/sloppification) gems is an increasingly rare experience.

Happily surprised to see Joshua Clifton's designs appearing on Hacker News, thanks for posting it :)

I know many jugglers in the circus community who really enjoyed the process of making their own beanbags from his designs, I just never expected to see it mentioned here, haha.
