    Hi guys,
    Most of the members here may not know me, so here's a brief intro - You can call me tohlz, a fellow pen spinner from Singapore, a webmaster of PenstudioZ, and moderator of UPSB since Pentix PS Board. I started PS'ing since 2001, and have been active until somewhere after the closure of UPSB v2 and opening of UCPSB where I put a pause on my PS due to many school and work commitments. More information can be found on the UPSB wiki page: http://www.upsb.info/wiki/index.php/Tohlz

    For those real old-timers who have heard about PenstudioZ (http://geocities.com/shawn_tohlz/main.html) before, this site runs on Geocities, which will be shutting down at the end of 2009. Similarly, all video files which are hosted on an external file hosting service is shutting down its service at the end of Jun 2009. Thus, I have decided to archive all the videos onto YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/penstudioz. I don't think these videos will be of much help to the ps community. However, if you are interested in PS history or browsing through old school ps videos, feel free to get them here or subscribe to the channel (though you won't be expecting much new stuff coming in). The youtube broadcast channel includes PenstudioZ's Promotional Videos. You can also find by Zombo's Counter Tricks here.

    PS: If you happen to see me during my active period and you are now reading this thread, kudos to your perseverance on the art of pen spinning!

    Though I wish we could have access to the original website still in the future, it's a good idea to keep the videos available on YouTube, which may also make the videos viewed by more people.

    Just as an fyi to the younger spinners, and because i know tohlz is too modest to say this himself, tohlz was one of the most important pen spinners in the UPSB back when I was getting into spinning. It's a little sad to see Penstudioz going down, but I'm glad spinners will still have access to the videos, which should serve as motivation to pen spinners, and frankly, are just good PS that's fun to watch.

    Props tohlz!
