Today we get plenty of rain, and wind. It was a nice change, and made the landscape look different. It not only washed away the dust but also dropped flowers down from the trees.

It seems that tiredness caught up... I was going to write some thoughts about photography, but that has to wait to another day. But still, we have summer.

Summer feels fresh - and it is, spring is hardly yet gone. Mosquitoes are starting to bother while going for a walk in a forest, but that is a small nuisance. The best thing is that there is so much new to see and explore with a camera.

I have been thinking about my Nokia E7 mobile phone every once in a while. I'm getting used to it, which doesn't mean that I won't get angry with it now and then.

Adam Greenfield - who was head of design direction for user interface and services at Nokia in 2008-2010 - made an insightful posting about the culture inside Nokia, check it out. Here is a quote: "Another, blunter way of putting it: there’s nobody with any taste in the decision-making echelons at Nokia. And this is especially unfortunate and ironic, given that elegant, simple Finnish design has tutored generations in what taste means."

Indeed, the Nokia E7 gives the user a feeling of bad taste. But then there are the good moments, when the phone actually works. And some applications, such as Sports Tracker, of which Greenfield also writes, which are good indeed.
