St. Anton, the home of reckless skiers

Aki Karkkainen

I’ve posted some holiday photos from St. Anton in the Austrian Alps. This was my first time in Austria, and I was curious to see the ski (and after-ski) culture, compared to that of Switzerland, or France where I usually go.

Moving to Beautiful Copenhagen

Things change. For quite some time now, I’ve been planning a return to Northern Europe to be closer to my Scandinavian roots, family and friends. Two weeks ago, I started my new job as an Interface Developer at a Copenhagen-based digital agency TRIPLE LBi (the Danish office of the global digital marketing and technology agency LBi ).

Ronnie James Dio

On Sunday 16 May, 2010, Ronnie James Dio passed away. Having grown up listening to heavy metal bands from the 70′s and 80′s, I just can’t believe the man is gone. Rainbow — one of the bands I listened to extensively — was the main reason why I started playing drums in the 80′s. Thank you for the music, Ronnie, and rest in peace!
