1.It allowed me to concentrate on work that I enjoyed, in research and in helping others learn
2. Hmmm, tough one. It could have been Tero “Big Daddy” Ylitalo but more likely it was discovering in the middle of a lecture that I didn’t understand anything of what I was explaining, and hoping that no one would ask any questions. Then of course someone did ask. “Time for a break!”

1. They sure beat energy drinks! Healthier too.
2. I like many Finnish cities and towns. Even Ari “Paska” Peltonen had to agree that most places are better than their reputations (in the tv series “Paskareissu”). I live in that well known capital of design (e.g. Kiasma, Humppahalli eiku Musiikkitalo) Helsinki.
