my internship at the international office started today. suddenly i kind of have my own office. with lots of folders, a fancy chair and an agenda made of PAPER in front of me. but i never anticipated the stick gymnastics (keppi-jumppa). at 09.30AM every morning everyone steps out of their office with a stick in their hand, then annikki shows the way with the stick. so this is office life.

sometimes i write in english.
du bist deutschland!
hail to thee, jean-remy von matt, vd for JVM: you’re becoming a legend. get it explained here, here, or here. or ELSE, let me put it short: the revolution has begun and we’re all part of it (ignore the digital divide for a sec). in an intern email von matt expresses his frustration over the fact that german bloggers had huge influence over a recent image campaign for germany. and i quote:
What on earth gives every computer-owner the right to express his opinion, unasked for?
the significance? oscar swartz thinks von matt’s quote marks a shift in power from vertical information broadcasting to horizontal sharing of information.
so when the day, hypothetically, comes that i have something to say, it will be said in no time at all and accessible to anybody more or less anywhere. in the meanwhile, yeah well. in the meanwhile.
something i feel happy about.
peik salminen was named player of the game in the floorball game between finland and switzerland yesterday! it’s significant because he’s aspiring for a position in the national team competing in the world championship in sweden this spring.
