About me
Since you've stumbled here, I might as well assume that you might want to know who and/or what I am. In short, I'm a Finnish guy in his early 30's, with a thirst for technology, science and arts, and I'm hungry for more. In some way I can combine these aspect into my daily life thru work and hobbies, sometimes even in a all-in-one kind of a deal.
I've been working for about 5 years now at Nokia as a software architect. For a bit longer period of time, I've studied computer science at the University of Helsinki. Currently my studies are on stand-by, as I can't find a minor subject that I would consider interesting, benefical and most importantly that would fit in my schedule. For some strange reason it's nowadays nearly impossible to work full-time and attend the interesting courses. I probably could just go to some exams after reading a book, but that's against my philosophy of learning things for life and not forgetting next week what it was all about.
My time between sleeping and working is taken up by a few hobbies. The artistic part of me is kept reasonably happy with learning to play trumpet and fretless bass as well as singing as a bass in the WiOL summer-project Wene-WiOL. For the less snowy part of the year I have taken up on golf, mostly playing at my "home course", Hillside Golf and Country Club in Vihti, some 45km from home. The more snowy part of the year is still taken up by telemark. I also have a few less athletic past-time activites include and not limited to photography, cooking, music, movies, games (computer, console, board, etc.) Asatru, hi-tech gadgets (hopefully integrated into my car at some point), reading, strange ideas and friendly people. My favourite color is not black, although many think it is. I prefer white, blue, black, shades of brown, bronze and chrome. And polished aluminum, if that can be counted as a color. And a whole lot of other colors, like pink, red, yellow and green in a variety of shades. Black is just an easy general purpose utility color.
The Past
I have a bit of a history in a few student organizations. Nowadays I am no longer that involved with them, as the daily routine at the office and other activites are more than enough to keep me busy. I used to spend most of my time as a very active member of Wiipurilainen Osakunta, TKO-äly and Helsingin Veganistit. I wish I had had the time for YO-kamerat, but I didn't.
I hope that satisfies your curiosity for now, but if you want to know more, read my CV.
