Vappu balloon sellers in Helsinki
2010s, Finland, Helsinki, Travel
It’s Vappu today, the most enjoyable day in Finland. Gifting a balloon is a custom here and buying one is expensive on the street, €25 is what I hear. Not surprising that lots of vendors are around already.

Madrid Café 2003
This is what I used for on-the-go tech in 2003 sitting in a café in Madrid. A Psion 5mx and a brick Nokia mobile phone The Psion had a great form factor that had a keyboard that was just big enough for touch-typing and small enough to fit into a jacket pocket. It also had the wonderful benefit of being distraction-free.
Not forgetting the camera, a Canon Powershot S30. A remarkably pocketable device for the time.

Yellow Boat heading out in the Baltic Sea
Biking to work yesterday, I caught this scene of a boat heading out to see on a Monday Morning. The mixture of the clouds, sea, the tree line on the shore and the yellow boat was a look that I liked.
