The reason for the recent and very much prolonged silence here.
Our son was born last Friday, 11.5.
Half a meter long and 3.6 kilograms in weight.
Thus far he’s happy to sleep, eat, carefully peep at the wonders of the world, and crack an occasional smile a little.
Adam “MCA” Yauch of Beastie Boys passed away yesterday.
Cue Licensed To Ill and all subsequent albums at an outrageous volume, please.
Never saw the band live, and was a late-blooming fan anyway.
This is Lamb of God, supporting Metallica on the Death Magnetic tour back in 2009.
Who Do You Love 2.5.2012: Black & White.
No movie has had that much of an effect on my wardrobe.
Certainly didn’t pick up a long black leather jacket on account of Matrix, and my sole Stetsoneque hat’s not a homage to either Indiana Jones or any western heroes, and I was already too grunge-y to be affected by the likes of Singles or Reality Bites back in mid-nineties.
Partially this might be on account of mild clothes-blindness, I just don’t tend to pay that much attention to them.
The greatest recent example is the Scorpion jacket from Drive. Utterly cool, but also totally unwearable in public.
Movie Monday #46: What to wear?
My relationship with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has been a rocky one.
Initially I liked it a lot. Whoa: bugs, violence, nastiness.
Then got disillusioned. It’s just a collection of pulpy sketches thinly tied together.
And then figured out that it’s very much a quintessential pulp-movie indeed.
Movie Monday #45: Opinions change.
This blog is now eight years, one month and two days old.
Missed the festivities completely.
And despite a formidable precedent, there will be no highlights post. Maybe at the tenth anniversary. Maybe.
April blogging spree started well, but ended up drying out mid-month.
No good reasons for it.
Work is effectively stressless (and there’s a grand total of two days left).
In lieu of illusionary work, wrote a few more toy applications for Harmattan (and they’ve been in the Nokia Store pipeline for a good while now).
The next move is in formative stages (and there will be more data once the concept is clarified).
Junior hasn’t been popped out yet (and there’s been no related complications).
Had a flu (but it was turbocharged and gone in three days).
Been just plain lazy.
And as a bonus: skipped Ullanlinnanmäki for the first time in more than a decade.
Eiffel Tower, 7300 tons of metal, here from an unconventional angle.
See It Sunday 29.4.2012: Metal.
Disperse immediately, nothing to see here / hajaantukaa, täällä ei ole mitään nähtävää!
Photo Thursday #242: No comments
HBO has renewed Game of Thrones for a third season.
Considering that Storm of Swords, the third book of the saga, is way thicker than the first two – it will be interesting to see whether it fits into the traditional format of ten episodes.
The program for the first Tizen conference is out.
The sessions are pretty much without surprises, it will be much more interesting to see what is launched or released
Despite the colour, these are decent tools indeed. 
The strangest looking plant seen on today’s evening stroll. 
Dice, packed with angles. 
Dead squirrel is the new black.
