Every day I will give you a color

Today is a rainy day, and it brings out the colors outside. Excellent for taking photographs.

Where will we go when they send us away from here?

I went for a walk in the Nuuksio forests today, with two oldest daughters, starting from Siikajärvi side, westside of Nuuksio. It was sunny and warm, and windy enough so that it wasn't too hot.

Singular yet part of a flock

I commuted by bicycle today, and then I also went for a walk late in the evening; in all, 2 1/2 hours of exercise today, not bad. It was needed, as this week has been rather busy at work, one thing after another, and I didn't manage to catch up with things to do today either.

Well, so it is sometimes.

I have been thinking about the iPad recently, and also discussed with colleagues the topic of using an iPad for work. Is it good enough to replace a laptop? What can one do with it, and what you can't? It seems that it is rather good for storing and reading documents for meetings and travel. But writing, that is another thing. Maybe one would get used to the virtual keyboard.
