Jussi Parvianen... Inevitable in Forties ? ... service stickeness

Jussi Parviainen... black eye browses, black hair, rings in every single finger, rapper like neckalaces. Is this really inevitable in late forties ???

......

I had a picture taken from Jussi to be put here but Blogger really seem to seriously suck nowadays. It seems really that whenever I try to add a picture to Blogger it just does not let me do it.
I'd really like to change the blogging Software but how to carry "all" what I written to another system ? "Too much work ?" "Lost data ? ", "Why bother.... ?". In my case rather I'd maybe just better quit and move to a traditional "päiväkirja" which really would truly serve me better if I'm honest in my quest to memorise things in my life.

Part 2: OK - Jussi today picture upload succeeded

Poli 1938... war ... dark & cold space

Gunnar Laatio was dad's very good friend for life time - dad started studies in Poli 1939 and Gunnar in 1938. For both gentlemen the war interrupted their studies for 5 horrible years... It's totally astonishing to think that in my case it's only a generation since a war halted everybody's life here totally - in my case only a generation ago everything here was in stake.







Only a generation ago here and still the idea of war is so very distant to me - how can people keep on fighting in Middle East, Irak, Sri Lanka, Afganistan, Kongo, Sudan, .... when there would be so much more important things to be done in the world, real issues to be solved, things to be build.

After all we are few, all alike and in the middle extreme darkness and coldness of space - we should really be better capable of sticking together ?

MbW...

Management by Walking is for some reason that I have never really understood not widely used as essential part of rational management style .... It would simply take just the booking a half an hour from calender every week to just go to meet different people and groups, asking them to join for cup of coffee or so - this could eventually give an unique flavour to views to many unique underlaying issue in organizations.

Actually now when I think about it surprisingly many many coffee sessions with different people I've had have brought many good findings, insights and now patented ideas.

In wider sense - going around and bullshitting with different people leads to better world and new views.

(Google found about 51,800,000 for management by walking.)

Vili the DJ

Vili the DJ getting ready to play music for their classes disco.














On the way back home I tested the camera phone on a burning sky behinds Otto's new school:














While supervising the disco I noticed for the first time what the allowing of the operator subsidised mobiles here has started to do for the kids' mobiles - loads of high end phones in the hands of 7-12 year old kids. There will be bunch of very unhappy parents when their kids have broken the phone but the contract goes on for 24months with fixed ~20€month cost (and still have to buy the new terminal themselves ... )

YouTube

YouTube has really made it up big time in the lives of our boys and their friends.... New times for the entertainment industry ahead or almost here now actually.

Tilsa again

Once again I was browsing thru J. Tilsa's "Zoppaa ja Zärfintä" (maybe ~"Zoup and Zood") . Valtteri and Vili seem to start to love Tilsa's production also... intelligent guys ;o)

Tilsa's comics have actully lots similarities to innovation - the story line starts from normal going thru some totally wierd, funny and based-on-some-totally-other-assumption culmination point back to almost normal but interestingly new point of view for the whole situation.

Tilsa should be studied as part of any innovation workshop !

Say No - it is great

"No thanks. Not interested." - what a wonderful & respectful response! Good straight forward fast "No" keeps thin...
