Miyamoto

Do you know Miyamoto?
The game-designer?

If you know Mario, then you know his father.
Yes, Miyamoto created Mario, and many more famous game-characters!

I made a question for Miyamoto at the Dutch newspaper's site of
'De Telegraaf'.

From 200 questions 5 were chosen to be asked to Miyamoto himself.
And my question was his personal favourite.

Can there be more honour for someone who has played his games for three quarters of his life?

Too bad I didn't speak to him face-to-face. But I got his autograph. On a Wii.


My question: Do you think gaming will become so realistic that you can't distinguish its experience from real life, and would this be a gift or a curse?

The art of sharing

Today. I made small pan-pizzas.

For my father, brother, the cook and myself.
Usually when I cook, I also do the dishes.

Somehow, when you're into the process of creating, you also want to be part of the destruction, and in this case, renewal.
I read somewhere that people sometimes give, in order to be happy.
(And that this was the reason why a lot of single people buy dogs.)

It's true that I feel happier after having done this.
Recently I changed the lay-out of our computer room with one desk, into a room with two desks.
Now I can share my favourite music with the other person in the room.
(In the background of the picture is the other desk, where my brother sits now).

Sharing is: DJ-ing, cooking, re-styling, re-mailing, photo-posting, standing-in, realising.
