Museum

Power Up

by

My kind of museum. The Science Museum in London has a Power Up exchibit it’s all about the history of video games. They had most video game consoles and computers from the last several decades. The girls and I played Mario, Sonic and other classics to VR games.

I of course had to try the 16 player original Halo setup they had and get schooled by kids not born when the game came out. Well not really but it was super cool to try and play. I had flashbacks of playing at friends houses! You know who you are who snipped me so often!

Security Comes First

My mum visted for April term break. She took the girls for a few days to a hotel. One day she took the girls to the postal museum. We went to the same museum with her when she visited a few years ago. It was nice and the underground tunnels and train ride was fun. When my mum needed an activity for a day she thought to go back there.

One of the activities is to create a stamp with your face on it. Both girls created ones.. The museum makes it easy for you to send your work of art to yourself by emailing them. My mum did just that to my personal email address. She really doesn’t know any other one.

The moment I got the mail and realised what it was I didn’t think oh cute. I thought oh great who knows who now has my email since it was sent via an unsecured system on a public kiosk. To be fair the stamps were cute however that wasn’t my first thought.
