Finally a post that’s not about me, but about Finland. In this case, Finnish Pop. I’m calling it “Part 1″ because I have a feeling this won’t be the last time I’ll be doing this. And should be noted that I’m very biased. Ignoring some stuff other people probably think of as essential and just [...]

Well, this seems to be another one of those posts that really don’t have anything to do with Finland. Was struggling with “what do I write of next” -problem and asked Dī for a topic. So, “Lecture notes” it is. I try not make a habit out of these. Really. I haven’t been on a [...]

Oh boy. I’m feeling serious when writing this. That can’t be good. Try to bear with me, seems like I’m in a thoughtful writing mood instead of riding high on the funny today. But then again, I don’t think this was meant to be a humor blog. Sometimes life is a bit more gray and [...]

I have a feeling these blog posts will have a tendency to turn into reports of what I did last night. Not that it’s a bad thing, but still it wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I started this thing. But I guess I’ll be dropping some fundamental truths about Finland and the [...]

I woke up this morning with the perfect idea for a blog post. Sadly, it was one of those ideas that I should have written down, really as I don’t remember it anymore. It’s been a week of pause without a word, so it’s quite safe to assume that my trip to Berlin was pretty [...]

Okay, deep breaths. I can still do this, right? Even if I feel like I don’t have the time. I’m one day behind the schedule, and will end up lagging even more soon. I’m heading to Berlin to a conference for this weekend (yeah, you’ll be hearing these “well, I have plans to X this [...]

(Christmas trip 2009, part 8) I didn’t manage to catch up with my schedule yet, still lagging one day behind. But really, I’m trying to write this as fast as humanely possible. It just takes a while. Lot to digest. After all, it’s the last post before the blog has to take a dip into [...]

(Christmas trip 2009, Part 7) Schedules are a bitch to keep. When I started writing this blog, my plan was “every other day, no exceptions”. Less than 10 posts into it and I’m failing that goal miserably. Decided to go to Tampere again this weekend (this time to see friends’ new apartment) and spent both [...]

(Christmas trip 2009, part 6) The possible audiences a blogger writes for can easily put into two categories. “You” and “not you”. Neither is really the optimal target group for a blog – if you write for others, you might end up in a situation where it starts feeling like a chore. You only aim [...]
