I write in margins

Veteran Cars & Vehicles , a set on Flickr. In July I accidentally popped in to an event which definetly was one of the highlights of the summer. It is not often you see almost 800 veteran cars gathered to the same place. I was going to visit Vääksy channel, and I got to see one of the greatest and finest car shows I've seen in my life. The regional veteran car club in Tavastia arranged its annual car meet in Vääksy channel area in July. And what a meeting it was! 800+ gorgeous and well-kept cars spread all over the area - sportscar, buses, lorries, motorbikes and normal classic family cars serving the whole spectre of the vehicles to us. Not only presenting the old American automobiles but also showing a great deal of the classic European cars from 1960's Volvos to 1970's Renault's and Alfa Romeos. And special thanks to the arrangers. Many Finnish summer festivals and happenings have nowdays beer tents all over the place. To this happening alcohol was no...

Today, before heading to the office I went to the carspotting. Gumball3000 2013 supercars arrived this morning (the 20th May, 2013) to the Turku harbour in order to drive further to Helsinki.

Perhaps one of the most special car today was Mercedes McLaren Stirling Moss (photo below) of which there are only 75 cars produced totally. Wikipedia writes: The SLR Stirling Moss is a limited edition (75 vehicles) of the series, which uses a speedster styling that does not include roof or windscreen. The design is inspired by the 300 SLR race car, and was by Korean designer Yoon Il-hun.

Based on an Ultima GT-R, this thing has a twin-turbo R8 V10 engine in the back... but no air conditioning! Rebellion R2K based on Ultima GT-R, in Gumball3000 's YouTube channel And...

This is not about the  great success of the Finnish Gaming Industry There has been lot of talk in media about Finnish ICT industry after the great success Rovio and Supercell have made with their Angry Birds and Clash of Clans games. But since there has been so much fuzz about the Finnish gaming companies, I want to focus in to other great Finnish ICT services with promising potential. These I will bring up in my new "Angry Aps" -series. Criteria to the selection of the services is that these applications or services have somehow helped me in my everyday life - in a way or another. Parkman - a parking meter on your mobile phone The first application in this series is Parkman, formerly known as Parkkinappi. I downloaded Parkman to my mobile phone around a month ago and I cannot understand I had not done that earlier. Parkman is a parking meter in your pocket. The application makes the everyday city parking so much easier. How often you have parked to the spot and re...
