Waiting ...

Actually very nice to be waiting  for some new music …. Spotify has changed this part of life essentially – pretty much everything I have find, has been old stuff and thus available immediately without any waiting for finding/delivery through Spotify.

Mr. Prättälä is releasing his 3rd record, and sneak pre”view” for it is very promising – nice tickling feeling to know that I have it at home by Xmas. Hopefully.

http://www.myspace.com/organkane  - “Hold me” and “Future History” … “Hold me” is especially a delight.

Construction industry

> If you build something to be used by many and for
long (... and expect people to pay a _lot_ for it), why is it not done
properly - especially when it really not does not take much more "more"
than just a little bit of pride on what you do? Being an electrical
engineer (and actually having been designing eg at that time big multiMG
microchips in a team where everybody were personally committed to make
it right first time), I am pretty sure that if "construction industry"
and it's way of working would be responsible for producing eg
electronics, I would not be writing this email.... since we would no
working electronics in this world.

A year old new house, with central heating but still with 11000kWh
electricity bill due to totally stupid floor heating design, with 14.8C
next to windows - good work!

Sharing the experiences of the winter 1939 again...

Pasi pointed me to YLE’s nice idea of letting modern Finns remember The Winter War days again…

When you follow it in RSS reader you somehow get sort of into the mood better.

Creating an eternal loop?

Just noticed that I can autopost to Blogger to the old blog … so I think I’m going to continue posting to tuomosthoughts.blogspot.com thru Posterous.

If I would import that blog to this blog would Internet collapse due ti the loop I’d be creating ;o) ? Friday….

I'm moving ....

I have been testing Posterous.com for quite some time now (in password protected mode).
I'm convinced now. This blog continues in http://tuomosthoughts.posterous.com/
Out of courtesy to good old Blogger no "advertising" why except that it will just work better for me from total usability point of view. Cheers!

A disgrace and another proof that we have externalized ourselves from realities

"Premium wheat is better being burned than used as food"... Bumped into this oldish Sunday morning Helsingin Sanomat reading session "memorizing" photo. Weird to think than in mankind's about a million or so long history we have come (in western world) finally in year 2000+ to a situation where common sense has been parametrized by money totally. In food production, money says that good year is bad year... food is better used as addition to producing energy as feeding starving people somewhere. Or maybe/probably it's been like this for quite some time and I have just not realized this very very sad issue in the world.

Just thinking how screwed we'd be with just few bad years... who could help in ending the tyrrany of money or rather bring in back the real life realities?

Gepap...

I came home from work with food to make. But ....Valtteri and his friend Riku had already made a phone call to Pizzeria. I thought the pizzeria would not accept the order from obviously a very young child, and started cooking for the boys.
After 20 minutes and dining the doorbell rang and voila, there was the pizza delivery - Luckily I found some money since the delivery man would not probably been happy with 10 and 20 cents coins Valtteri had for the pizza...

Say No - it is great

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