Radio Free Finland

August 30th, 2005

Phil has done some extensive preparation for this one. He’s launching Radio Free Finland, a live podcast that everybody can tune into on Sunday evenings (22-23 Finnish time).

He says the show will be “like a variety show - kinda like a mix between The Diane Rehm Show, NPR‚Äôs Fresh Air, The Daily Show, and Conan O‚ÄôBrien”. Sounds interesting to me. I’m definitely tuning in on Sunday (hoping I’m back from Helsinki by then, that is).

Setting up a company

August 26th, 2005

25.8.2005 will go down in my personal history as the day the Trade Registry approved my filing for my company and the data is now up to date in the Finnish Business Information database (YTJ).

The up side in the early meters of a new company is that you start to get schwag from other companies trying to market to you. Pohjola sent me already neat stickit notes :)

Gyms and Specials

August 25th, 2005

I’ve began going to the gym again this week - trying to get back into shape (like I was in shape before!) But I have to say, an hour at the gym and afterwards a close to a kilometre at the swimming pool does make you feel good. So good actually that I’m gonna take the bike into town for the thursday beer special :-) This special has become a sort of a tradition to hook up with friends and discuss different things going on in the city, etc. It’s got that pub atmosphere into it, you know? Something you don’t normally get in other Finnish bars in my opinion.

Righty, I’m gonna skull this coffee and take my bike for a ride!
