Small parts of my region of Toronto are still without power — unpleasant, with the cold weather we’re having! We drove Caitlin most of the way to work since the subway around here was closed, and it was really odd seeing what had power and what didn’t — the grid is a really chaotic structure I suppose. We also had a major fire alarm (with fire engine and all) here today because some of the pipes froze during the night since there was no heating in the building, and when the system started up again they busted and blew out enough steam to trigger the alarms. Very annoying since it meant a high volume siren playing over the building-wide intercoms for 20 minutes.
I wasn’t sure if she’d “get” it, but I got Nefarious playing Crayon Physics (I have the full game — it’s totally fun) today… I was amazed that she was completely able to solve even the more complex physics puzzles and had a great time doing it. Plus of course it’s a game that’s good mental exercise… It’s always a crapshoot which games will be a hit. Because her hand-eye-mouse-gamepad coordination isn’t the greatest yet, that tends to be much more of a limiting factor than game complexity, which I’ve found isn’t really an issue (and modern games are pretty well designed and have intuitive interfaces).
I did a little more work on “The Abyssinian Maid” as well.

wow..i am so exited about crayon physics deluxe being out finally…i had put my name on the list to be contacted but i guess it didn’t work…now it remains to be seen if i am exited enough to actually PAY for a computer program of any kind…
On youtube a person (tinkernut) made mention of this game a while ago- and I downloaded the demo version of it at that time. I enjoy playing it- it allows you think outside the box and find creative ways to get the ball to the star. I bet Nefarious will love it :)
a public TV channel over here aired Clerks 2 yesternight, so I *finally* could see you on TV;)
I liked how ironic your part was.
I really like the Abyssinian maid poem and paintings, and watching them come alive and gain depth. so beautiful, I would love to own one. will they be for sale eventually? or sold as a set? do you even know yet?
thanks for your time :)
