    I love Santiago, Chile

    I have been told that there are more interesting places in Chile that I must visit, but I am in love with Santiago.  I was in Santiago for two weeks for work and walked over 50 kilometers around the sprawling city.  I walked from the streets in the business district to the highest peak in the city.  Within viewing distance was the Andes mountains tempting me to climb them. Santiago mixes Spanish culture and design with modernity.  There are some fabulous restaurants and bars in the center, and even better places not too outside the center.  I was amazed

    Western Massachusetts travels

    This weekend brought me to the western part of Massachusetts.  The western part is known for the Berkshire mountains and the farm land.  A little over two hours of driving from Boston on some of the scenic and curvy roads of route MA-116 brought me through several small villages that looked like time was standing still from he 16th and 17th century.  I stopped at a small village called Conway, which was very quaint.  The village has a small central road, called Main Street.

    King’s Quest 2015

    I am unbelievably happy that Sierra released a new version of King’s Quest for the modern consoles.  I remember thinking how revolutionary these games were on the Apple IIe and IBM PCs.  The graphics are stunning, the game play is similar and very witty.

Games have progressed since the original release and so has the new King’s Quest.  The puzzles are not too hard and the landscape is not as vast as some of the

    Border Control and Derby Line, Vermont

    I was on a recent road trip from Boston to Montréal and back, and I stopped in several small towns and parks along my route. These stops included places in the States of New Hampshire, Vermont and New York. The route I took was not the quickest, but that was never my intention. My intention was to see some places I have never seen before. One of the most interesting places was the small village of Derby Line, Vermont, which borders Stanstead, Quebec. The two appear to be one town, but with the US and Canadian border running through

    Welcome

    Welcome to the all new Paskino.com! I have had a presence on the internet since 1995 with my old brainiac.com days.  Every few years it is important to update the site to reflect my ever changing life, new web standards and to clean the old and replace it with the new.

There might be some glitches,
