Tänään vietetään Journalismin päivää Helsingissä. Ja syytä kyllä on, sillä eilisen “uutisanti” oli kyllä niin villiä, että perässä oli vaikea pysyä. Päivän huippukohdat Joku venäläinen euroviisuissa laulanut babushka oli löytänyt isänsä haudan. Herran, joka kuoli Nazisin taistelussa (76-vuotiaana) ja jolle tiedettiin pystytetyn joukkohaudan… Sofi Oksanen ei sitten saanutkaan Nobel-palkintoa (kuten koko maailma henkeään pidätellen odotti).

That actually was my desktop this morning.

Those are big words and I am totally aware that some people might be offended by this. It’s been a break in my writing for a couple of weeks — due mainly to a temporary …
About two weeks ago I was surfing the net and I stumbled on this image on a Helsinki Times page. “Nice HDR-work” was my initial reaction (took me c. two seconds) and then, WTF?
