It’s a footnote, off Jonathan Zittrain’s The Future of the Internet (and how to stop it).

Wild raspberries. The best kind. An uncountable, but sadly not infinite, number thereof.
Yy kaa koo nee #X4: Summer wild card (for which this is actually late).

From Valve’s Left 4 Dead. Zombie hordes galore, probably not just the thing for seven year old kids. Hence the warning in triplicate.
Yy kaa koo nee #35: 18.

An absolutely appropriate detail of an old Högfors stove. Photo taken it the Kiiala manor near Porvoo.
Yy kaa koo nee #26: 29.
Apr 182009
This week’s Yy kaa koo nee challenge is 12.
My take on the subject is the bottle of Ola Dubh, a beer from Scotland. A beer that has been mulling in barrels used to store Highland Park whisky of an appropriate age. The taste is definitely stronger than that of a common eurolager.

This week’s yy kaa koo nee numerical challenge is 26, yet another figure encountered everyday.
My take on the subject is this picture from Ensiferum gig in FME, with twenty-six spotlights visible in the image it ought to be an altogether adequate response.
Apr 042009
This week’s yy kaa koo nee challenge is 44.
And this week I’m back to using proper objects instead of well-camouflaged numbers (the Spinal Tap reference seems to have been too opaque). This is a number tag sighted today, in the finnish national museum, noting the origins of a metal cup.

For this week’s Yy kaa koo nee challenge of 11 I chose the 1984 rockumentary that made that number very famous indeed, by stretching the amplifier volume upwards just one more notch.
The film is heavily recommended to all who appreciate quality comedy and a downright brutal exposure to the surreal aspects of the music industry.
(And no, I didn’t clip the logo off the web, this is a closeup image of the dvd booklet’s cover).

This week’s Yy kaa koo nee numerical challenge is a challenge indeed – a 38 is not exactly an everyday number.
My take on the subject is Ticket to Ride Switzerland, where the game is just about to end, the blue player having put in his 38th car on the board, setting off the final round.
Mar 142009
The proper yy kaa koo nee challenge for this week is 30.
A number that was not immediately obvious (apart from using a calendar or a book, both of which would have been boring repeats).
This is off the washing tag of a recently bought t-shirt. A shirt, whose designer, Glenn Jones comes heavily recommended – the logos are imaginative and the shirts of sturdy American Apparel descent, so they survive tens of washes.

For the second extra challenge from yy kaa koo nee, the number decreases by one from the previous.
This time the challenge is to locate a surprisingly elusive 99.
I picked mine off a book – a volume of the Carl Barks library to be exact.
Mar 072009
For this week’s Yy kaa koo nee challenge of nine I’ve chosen a recently remastered doom metal classic – Trouble‘s debut album from 1984: Psalm 9, the album’s cardboard sleeve piled on top of some other records that have been spinning in the player recently.
Feb 282009
For this week’s Yy kaa koo nee challenge of 22 my answer is rather boring – a quick pick from last month’s calendar, centered on the appropriate day.
Feb 222009
This week’s Yy kaa koo nee numerical challenge is 50.
In the absence of anything more imaginative, I’m settling for a boring close-up of a fifty euro bill.
Feb 162009
For this week’s challenge of 4 in Yy kaa koo nee I’ve chosen a replica of the best poker hand I’ve ever had in a proper live tournament. Too bad the resulting 400+ euros from the “all in”-response were just play money.
Feb 082009
For this week’s chosen number of 25 in the weekly numerical Yy kaa koo nee challenge I’ve chosen one of the non-traditional offerings from the neighbourhood’s pizza vendor.
Hauler Special would be OK, if it didn’t carry bell peppers as toppings.
Feb 012009
This week’s Yy kaa koo ee numerical photo challenge returns to smaller number with ten.
My take is the first decade of Ilkka Remes – ten mostly decent domestic techno thrillers (Itäveri goes seriously un-recommended, though).
Jan 262009
The yy kaa koo nee challenge continues with non-trivial numbers. This week the topic is 32.
My take is this word, off a classic-style Scrabble board.
