Helsinki Twestival
Good people, interesting conversations, beer and live videoblogging of the event. All for a good cause: saving the Baltic sea.
Helsinki at dusk
You’ve probably seen this before
But it just gets better after repeated viewing. And I don’t even like hip hop that much.
Times change
When I was growing up and my parents’ friends would come over to our place, there would usually be dinner and/or coffee and they would just keep on doing the “adults’ conversation”.
Now that I’m an adult and some of my friends already have kids of their own, when we meet we sometimes have dinner and/or coffee, but there’s almost always a playing session on the Wii going on, while we take turns to take care of and play with the kids. Videogames (of a certain kind) have become part of the social experience.
I’m not sure I can picture my mom shredding to Guitar Hero: Metallica while I was growing up. Makes me wonder what kind of things will our children take up to show their rebellious spirit when the time comes if they are so inclined.
Our dependence on energy
This weekend we had a small problem as the lights went out in our building. Since there is not many ways in for natural light in the staircase and the building is rather tall it looked like the setting of a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie of some sort, especially in the mobile phone light I used to get down.
Makes you realise how dependent we are on affordable energy, eh?
Sunset in the rain
I don’t know about you, but I find this yellow totally mesmerizing.
Introducing lifecasting with Ovi
Full disclaimer: this is related closely to my work. Don’t expect me to be fully impartial.
It is still a beta and currently only works with N97, but I’ve been using it for the past week and it’s not only nice but useful. I can’t wait to have this available for Twitter as well, but don’t expect me to divulge publicly where I or anybody else I care for exactly reside.
Helping brands think about their social media presence
My colleagues and friends Arto and Dan have been talking about their very own PESH model (participant, enabler, supplier, helper) which helps brands map their usage, presence and possible/required measurements in their social media activities.
If you do social media marketing, it would definitely help you out to check those two posts. Definitely helps to get your ideas in order, as any good model should. 😉
London, again
I was there for work this time. At least it was in SoHo, which is an area of the city I absolutely love. The rest of the pictures available in Flickr, as usual.
