Decided to see how Heidi reacted to Super Mario World on the SNES…Though she couldn’t quite figure out the controls yet, she was content to sit in my lap and laugh and giggle until she was breathless! Yoshi running away was particularly funny, but the whole game caught her attention in a good way. The programming, artwork, and world building really came together wonderfully.

Poking around in digiKam for the first time, definitely a useful piece of software. There are so many nice things in the open source world. Will donate.

@jordan Mint with Cinnamon has worked well for me when I just need something simple and general purposed. Wonder if you have a hardware problem or something?

@ned @Klaatu That is interesting, but if you consider some of the Old Testament miracles and how word of that would have gotten out, maybe not that surprising. I’ve always considered that many Native Americans were closer to Judeo-Christian in a lot of their beliefs than much of Europe or Asia.

It was 90°F yesterday…

@futzle At least it is compostable and won't be around for long right?

@ajroach42 Ok, so I mis-remembered. My grandmother went to visit the Biltmore and wrote about it in 1959. She said her grandfather had talked about it and considered it “obscene”. Half because of the structure and half because of the owner. His uncles did fight for the Confederacy not that long before its construction. She did like the place and thought he would like seeing it too.

@ajroach42 My family lived relatively close to that area when it was built and I think I remember some writings that my great great grandfather did on the Biltmore. They were not wealthy, but not starving either. Let me see if I can hunt those down.

@ajroach42 I just did the tour last week as well and disagree with that sentiment. Being able to live in a country where you can do what you want with what's yours is ideal. A lot of the builders considered the house their magnum opus and many went on to do other great things. I heard that Vanderbilt paid for all of the many parcels. I don't know his whole story but the guy aspired to greatness, which is laudable, and helped a lot of folks. That might be why no one tried to steal the place.
