January 2009
I drank tar schnapps. Yes, tar. Very bacon like.
Looks like I will be in BCN for #mwc09 with some big news. See you there.

Just had my first strawberry lime juice. Tasty!
Thinking about @twestival Helsinki. We don’t a venue, we need venues! Tweetup meets pub crawl, anyone?
Tweet up —> Pub crawl —> Flash mobbing grilli’s.
Lesson of the day: there is no such thing as a quick proposal. They all take longer to write than you think.
Went back to Etymotic hf2’s from Apple In-Ears. So much more detailed. It’s about the seal.
Fjord visitors in from London and Berlin. Drinking weiss beer with them in Helsinki.
CPH is a nice airport. But there is nothing more depressing than an airport layover when all the shops and restaurants are closing.
And now heading back to HEL a mere 7.5 hours later. Had very good meeting. Some exciting news to report soon.
Landed in London and blinded by the sun! Feels likes weeks since I’ve seen the it.

Dinner with @keltanen. Dreading travel tomorrow. HEL -ARN - LHR - CPH - HEL.

What can we learn from netbooks?
Makes sense as our digital stuff moves off local machines and networks and lives in the cloud. My current set top box is my old MacBook with a combination of Front Row, Boxee, iTunes, and XTorrent. I don’t have any broadcast hardware.

Netbooks are taking off.
They clearly address pent up demand and they are especially timely during this economic climate. They are simple, small...
Great quote! RT @salimmitha: Great quote on Capitalism & free markets from Soros associate http://is.gd/hfGz
Had an interesting lunch discussion about how strategic design overlaps with biz and prod strategy. Lot of overlap but key is perspective.
Lapland Reindeer! http://is.gd/h91m
Tonight’s dinner: Sauteed reindeer with mash and lingonberries. It taste like slighly gamey beef.
Restaurant playing a gregorian chant cover album. Current song is Losing My Religion. Check please!
The hotel has their own reindeer! I will have to take a picture tomorrow before I leave.

Checking out Posterous. Let me know if you are using it.
Interesting hypothesis, Obama’s election is a reflection of America becoming more urban. http://bit.ly/PmFB

First time on skis in 3 years. I forgot what a terrible skier I am. But still a lot of fun.
Lapland dinner choices, reindeer steak or bear sausages.
Wow, there is proper snow here. It’s a real winter wonder land.
Why would you take the middle seat if the aisle seat is empty?
Flight to Kittila finally boarding. Passengers wearing normal winter clothes, not arctic exploration gear. Good sign.
Looking forward to my arctic circle weekend in Lapland. Night skiing available all day.
Snow flurries make everything look nicer in grey Helsinki.
Heading back to HEL. Oslo looks interesting. Saw lots of people walking around with skis in hand. Wish I had more time to explore.
Landed in a snowy Olso.
En route to airport. Love the 725AM flight on a snowy morning.
Inauguration of President Barack Obama: http://tinyurl.com/9st589
Thanks to Obama I can finally remove the Canadian flag from my rucksack. The Euros like us again. But for how long?
Work is really cutting into my twittering.
Heading out to meet up with @s_constantine and @suryasnair to discuss @twestival.
