		<title>New venture &#8211; Stems.cc</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My new venture, Stems.cc, is taking its first humble steps. It is a site built around collaborative music making and remixing. A site that encourages openness in an industry plagued with protectiveness and copyrights. Because of the nature of Stems, all songs must be released under Creative Commons license. By the way, a stem, in musical [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Song – The Woods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been ages since the last update, but here&#8217;s a new song to make up for it. I was playing around in dropped-D tuning and the basic tune came out pretty painlessly. I also play an irish tin flute in the interludes. Semira sings beautifully as always and I&#8217;m really happy with the outcome. &#160;]]></description>

		<title>New App – Chain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, I released the first version of my new app, Chain. It’s a motivational tool based on a method by Jerry Seinfeld. It motivates you to do things you want to do daily, e.g. “Read book” or “Do stretches”. Each day you do something, you mark it in Chain and after a while you have [...]]]></description>

		<title>125 Magazine – Hill of Crosses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photographer Nina Merikallio was featured in the latest issue of 125 Magazine and she also did a short film for them. She wanted to use one of my songs for the music and I was happy to make a special edit of the track. Check it out. Like our Läkerol film posted before, this was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Läkerol Commercial: Vampire</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week, we shot a commercial for Läkerol in an abandoned mansion near Vilnius, Lithuania. The place used to be a soviet era hospital and there was still some medicine cabinets left. The director, Jalmari Helander, offered 50 euros if I tried some pills from the cabinets, but I declined. I could&#8217;ve used 50 euros, [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Song &#8211; Closing Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Semira and I managed to finish an old song of mine that had been lying in a drawer for several years. It sounds like a decarbonated beer at an empty pub, where the upholstery smells like cigarettes and Rohypnol.]]></description>

		<title>Todo &#8211; A Simple Productivity App</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the holidays I spent my leisure time doing some programming. I&#8217;ve been using the simple and brilliant notepad.cc to keep notes I can access anywhere and I thought it might be nice to have a visual todo list alongside it. So, I grabbed my keyboard and went to work. Features include drag&#8217;n'drop sorting of [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Song &#8211; Lost in the Clockwork</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finished a song I had been working on for some time. The piano parts had been lying around in some form, but I had not been able to construct a song from them. Until now. I had recorded the pianos without a metronome, which is a bit problematic when you want to add percussion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Amazon Kindle 3 = Nice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Amazon released the third generation Kindle a while ago and I finally gathered up the courage to get one. After using it for a couple of days I&#8217;m positively surprised. Usually, I maintain an unfounded prejudice against digital over analog, but this time I&#8217;ll make an exception. The first surprise came immediately after opening the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Oma Kaupunki Campaign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month, me and Marko Rantanen went shooting around the Helsinki metropolitan area for Helsingin Sanomat omakaupunki.fi ad campaign. &#8220;Oma kaupunki&#8221;, which translates as &#8220;My city&#8221;, is a site where people can exchange tips, events, news and services. The campaign theme is &#8220;Greetings from the neighborhood. This is what Oma Kaupunki is made of.&#8221; All [...]]]></description>
