My next media appearance will be...

..yes it's radio. Some radio produced read my interview from local newspaper and now he wants me to some morning show in Radio YLE Savo to talk about low budget traveling and traveling in general.

I have no idea where I'm sticking my head into but since I've decided to say "YES" to these things I have to go. The real reason is that it could be interesting or at least a new experience.

Of course this isn't the first time I'm on radio. Last time I was interviewing a guy who won the Finnish Music Producer of the year - trophy in Emma ceremony... ok, ok that was 9 years ago...

My next step is obviously TV and then I'll run for European Parliament. Oh, before that maybe some Big Brother just to let people know where I'm going since I'm going to bee way too busy and famous to write some lame ass blogs.

Reboot

A guy from Mac-service called and told me there is nothing they can do to restore the data from my broken hard-drive.

I really don't know if I should start remembering what was in there or just move on. First things I can remember are some long reports I had written for school = 10h work (never returned them so I have to write them again), information concerning my final project for school = 50-200 hours of work or so, all the graphic design ideas that I wrote down = priceless. Thank god, I mean my brains, that I wrote fraction of that stuff down on some old fashioned paper.. At least my own Hard-drive(brain) is still working quite well. I guess that's what counts at the end of the day.. but still...

1,5 weeks vacation starts day after tomorrow. I need it to reboot my system and find some new stuff to do. It really feels strange to start everything from an empty table, virtually and physically.

3rd strike and I'm out!

Today I went to see a doctor concerning my shoulder. He twisted my shoulders to every direction and couldn't really find anything wrong with it except that it's loose. He gave me a go ahead to continue training, but told me that I should be careful not the dislocate it again while it's healing since it would make things worse.

So after that I went sparring with my friends and after 4 rounds I was about to hit my friend in the face but he dodged and my fist missed the target and continued moving forward. Result: 3rd dislocated shoulder and my career as a kickboxer is now officially over.

There are no words for this feeling.

Artficial life is here

Human made Artificial life. So before we found artificial life, we decided to make some. Human made artificial life will brings up some interesting philosophical questions in the near future.

Ympäristöystävällisestä yritystoimintaa ja sotimista

Tällä kertaa asialla Neste ympäristöystävällisine hankkeineen.

Toinen Greenpeace aiheinen uutinen. 390 miljoonan euroa tarvittaisiin Amazonin pelastamiseen. Tällä hetkellä Yhdysvallat käyttää 500 000 dollaria, n. 700 000euroa per minuutti Irakin sotaan (lähde: Time magazine). Tämä tarkoittaisi että Yhdysvallat yksinään olisi pelastanut tuolla sijoittamisella Amazonin sademetsät 557 minuutissa. Tämä tarkoittaa siis noin 10 tuntia Irakin sodassa.

10 tuntia sotimista = Amazonin pelastaminen. Siinä on yhtälö joka pistää miettimään, ainakin hetkeksi.

*UPDATE* Luck is changing, or is it something else.. I don't care!!

Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine through messenger. She had found her camera that she lost in our crap-party. The same day her computer broke down..
I told: One technology returned home and other left the place.

WELL! Here is the "funny" part:
Yesterday when I shut down my laptop I had to force it to close.. (hardly ever happens to Mac)
Next Morning postman woke me up after 4 hours of sleep at 7 o'clock. My new 22" wide screen arrived. NICE! I decided to try it but something was wrong. My lapton couldn't find the hard drive. After 2 hours of fighting nothing helped so I'm quite convinced my hard drive has exploded. That means everything inside it is probably lost.

All my work, all my writing, all my ideas for different design, my life, EVERYTHING.

I had a meeting with a teacher this morning concerning my final thesis, which also dissapeared. She was amazed how calm I was. I just told her "zeros and ones, zeros and ones".

UPDATE:
I bought a "new" old mac from school with 70 euros. That with my new display and it's ALMOST like nothing happend. Just missing 60GB of info and the fact that my stomach is upset. No biggie.

Korea or Mexico...

The good thing that I'm still studying at the university computer science, at the same time with graphic design, is the fact that when I graduate next spring I can keep on studying in university the next fall. Just between you and me I have no intention of graduating from university as grad. student (bachelor's degree will do for me). The nice thing is that I can do another exchange program through university..

I've narrowed my choices down to 2 candidates: South-Korea and Mexico. I've got about 4 months to decide which one I prefer. Of course it's not a Sure Thing that they take me, but computer science students aren't really social people so I think leaving Finland behind shouldn't be a problem.

I'm kind of interested of Korea since I know nothing about it. Mexico and surfing and spanish language. Korea and culture. Mexico and food. Korea and mysticism. Mexico and Fiesta. Korea, Asia. Mexico, South America.. Damn, it will hard to decide! At the moment I think Korea... argh!

If you know anything about these countries do let me know.
