Interactive Video Games

By -

Some of you might want to watch this video of Phin playing a video game. He was very "interactive" for a while and was cracking me up. I was already laughing really hard when I started recording him and I'm sorry for my outbursts. It probably won't seem quite as funny to you, but trust me. It was.

Another quote from earlier: "Your horse! I shall hamstring it! Like I hamstrung your mother! And your brother!"

It's this behavior that makes me think he's channeling his Uncle Charlie.

Schloss Charlottenburg and Potsdamer Platz

Yesterday me and Andrea went to Schloss Charlottenburg, and it was awesome! We went on a tour through the building, and then walked around in the garden out back. There are a lot of old paintings and stuff in there. Sophie Charlottenburg, who was a queen of Prussia, collected porcelain, so there was a lot of that. After that we went back to the gardens; they were awesome. Here's a link to the Wikipedia page. Schloss Charlottenburg There were a bunch of ducks and little birds. Here are a few pictures: Those ducks were pretty funny-looking. After that, we went home.This morning we went to LinuxTag again, and I got to play Frets on Fire.

After the party we walked around Potsdamer Platz for a while. The buildings over there are all really new. Check it out: ...

Which is a time when you're referring to the 24-hour clock, but I don't think she's that smart. It's probably not a fair question to ask a 2.5-year-old. Like I expect her to have a record of her potty breaks or something. Another frequent conversation is the following: Me: Let's go potty! Mira: I already did yesterday!

Ancona, Italy and ferry to Split, Croatia

We took a train from Rome to Ancona, Italy, where we had a one-day stop. Ancona is about ¾ of the way up the east coast, on the Adriatic Sea. The next evening we planned to take an overnight ferry to Split, Croatia, so this seemed like a simple transfer place, but Ancona is a really neat city itself! At night I wandered around and ended up hiking to a functioning lighthouse. The stone sign is at 104 meters above sea level, about 341 feet. Our neighborhood had some nice murals / graffiti: Here is a view out over a pentagonal building formerly used as a quarantine colony, a little island right by the city, open to the public: There are quite a few drinking fountains scattered all over, and all the ones we tried worked! This is the correct way for a city to be. It is very hilly, with stairs and steep roads all over. Many narrow little alleys between buildings, and connecting passages and staircases up and down hills, between houses, churches, and pa...
