Balancion: After a month

Balancion is a Finnish start-up that has been hyped quite a bit, and true, they come with good pedigree. I got invited to the service a while back and now have had time to use it for a month or so. The premise is simple, they will provide users a service that will kick Mint.com [...]

eBooking it up

Nearly a month ago I wrote a post titled eBooks, Kindle and the iPhone about turning my last fortress of old technology books into the electronic. I did have to finish a thousand page book first, taking quite a while since I pretty much only have time to read on my twenty minute commute. After [...]

The week on varha.com April 20th to 26th

Oh boy, what a week! So many things to do and so little time to do it. The sun is, like, totally shining and summer’s coming and it is super schweet! Spend your Sunday afternoon reading these, after the sun has set! A lot of interesting articles again this week, here’s what you watched the [...]

35 years of video games in two minutes

If you happen to find a few minutes of your time, this video shows the exponential development of computer games in the last 35 years (which is longer than 99% of you readers have lived).

eBooks, Kindle and the iPhone

Today I made a leap towards a future I’ve been supporting for a long time, but something I have been reluctant to start enjoying – electronic books. For a long time, I’ve been on a personal mission to reduce my use of paper by embracing everything digital – be it all my writing, mind mapping, [...]

We go back to the future!

Not only am I a lover of automobiles, I’m also a quite fanatic tech-lover. Technology and gadgets are something that make me itch with curiosity and I think it would be awesome to live to be 400 years old – just to see what new technologies will emerge. Although many people call me an Apple [...]

Activism, action and you.

Afternoon all, as Markus mentioned I have indeed been spending every available minute in the forest since the sun came out in May. It’s pretty much gone again now though so all things being well, I will become semi-regular once again. I’ve just had a few friends staying with me for the last couple of [...]

Kiss me and pinch my nipple…hard…harder…mmmmm

I begin today, both with a fairly obscure homage to Natural Born Killers (an another ex-pub quiz team name, if you were wondering where Intriguing Cleavage came from), and by taking the momentous step of losing my blogging cherry. I suppose I should begin with some kind of introduction. When Markus wrote the interim message [...]

Blogging & RSS

How many of you have noticed that most blogs consist of mainly links to other blogs? Which usually have links to other blogs, et cetera until you actually come to a blog that has some original content. This has been one of the key reasons for not blogging in the general sense but since e-mail [...]

On blogs et al

Being some sort of a freshman regarding blogging, as I’ve done with several other “new technologies” it’s taken a while for me to accept it a part of my life, including with RSS and even CSS (!) for heaven’s sake. I used to do a lot of web development and designing in end of 90′s [...]
