Do you like brain magic? I do. But I remember there is the word ‘magic’ after brain…

Statistician Nic Marks asks why we measure a nation’s success by its productivity — instead of by the happiness and well-being of its people. He introduces the Happy Planet Index, which tracks national well-being against resource use (because a happy life doesn’t have to cost the earth). Which countries rank highest in the HPI? You might be surprised. (Recorded at TEDGlobal 2010, July 2010 in Oxford, UK. Duration: 16:49)

A comment by Luis Perez from Costa Rica

“I like to consider myself a citizen of the world. However, I was born and raised in Costa Rica… and I’m still here! Nick is right, we are very happy We still have a lot of problems and we could do a lot better but we are happy most of the time… Could be our history, could be our weather, but most of all I think is all about “doing the best you can with the tools you have”.

Now, you heard the man:

1. Connect

2. Be active

3. Take notice

4. Keep learning

5. Give

There are a lot of interesting comments, worth to read!

Voices of Cairo is a short film intended to act as a 
preview of Voices and Faces of the Adhan: Cairo
a feature length documentary film, audio archiving and multi-media installation project about the adhan, or call to prayer, in Cairo – 
a 1,400 year old oral tradition that has never been documented or recorded for historical study.

Voices of Cairo from On Look Films on Vimeo.

Using the adhan as the vehicle, Voices and Faces of the Adhan: Cairo
provides opportunity to broaden the understanding of the Muslim world in a contemporary social context.
Voices and Faces of the Adhan: Cairo
seeks to preserve and record Cairo’s muezzins and the adhans they recite in their entirety for the first – and only – time in history.
It is the mission of ON LOOK FILMS, by engaging and inspiring the viewer to reach across cultural divides, to help preserve 1,400 years of human history and contribute to a more peaceful world.

How can you help?

My regular readers know what I’m talking about.
Part one of the story is deleted. Gone. Forever.
I saved the ‘Thank you’ posting with links.

What you might have seen recently is this text:

How did I know about that stolen picture?
I have a counter where I can see how long people are surfing on my blogs, where they’re coming and going, download activity etc., plus I have a tiny little Sherlock Holmes living in me plus intuition…

- IP address was in Egypt – not mine!

Here you can see all the details…

more details…

for example recent downloads…

Go to StatCounter home page

Look at the live demo – you can play with it to get the idea how it works!

Now I show you how to copy a work in RESPECTFUL way.

I wrote an email to Hugh MacLeod at gapingvoid gallery and told him that this cartoon is going to be published on my blog and if he wants me to remove it asked him to let me know.

I like his work. I get these cartoon by email and he makes me smile, great art!

You all know that I’m Finnish, (where the hell is Finland? here!) living at the moment in Cairo, Egypt, as expat. Or didn’t you know that?

Do you like art (any kind of art)?
If you know any artist blogs leave their blog address in your comment - 
I’d like to visit them! 
But please, don’t try to market or sell anything. I’ll check all the links before I publish them…

ps. If you download MY photographs please tell me!
People are still doing it and don’t say a word – don’t you have any manners?
Thank you! would be nice…

THANK YOU ALL!
I want to extend my warmest and most sincere “thank YOU”, 
to all of you, as you have been taking part in my struggle for achieving justice for my rights to my pictures.
Recent events have taught me so much about publishing but even more how much a vivid and supportive network means for a blogger!
Your comments and support has been the key to keep me going.
Another learning is that one needs to be persistent to succeed…and with a support like this -  it’s possible!

Thank you ALL once again.
I suggest that we turn a new page in life and head for the future…this event is now passed…new challenges ahead

ps. ps. Is Chris Brogan familiar to you? If not, hop, hop you go to read his article!

Huom! sanat tulee kirjoittaa englanniksi TAI englanniksi ja suomeksi. EI vain suomeksi. 
Täällä ei kiinnitetä huomiota kielioppiin tai kirjoitusvirheisiin. Muutama sanakin riittää jos kieli ei syysta tai toisesta taivu!  

Tule rohkeasti mukaan!

On my yesterday’s posting I shared information about some Finnish bloggers joined together and how they made pieces of art & let their creativity to bloom!

Some of you know already that I like to share. In the morning I noticed Mari Koo‘s (a Finnish social media blogger – sorry, only in Finnish) tweet about sharing. What did I find? An interesting posting by Journalistics ‘How people share content on the web‘.
The most popular methods are: Facebook 24%, email 11.1% and Twitter 10.8%.

I’m following the followers and I get interesting information. And I share.
But hey, I’m just one blogger but you never know how many bloggers I might link and get together!

Kuin tilauksesta saapui sosiaalisesta mediasta Tekniikka&talous online posti, jossa pohditaan mm. miksi Facebookissa haukutaan pomoa muttei uskalleta puhua kasvokkain.

“Ketä tai mitä on syyttäminen siitä, että meille tuottaa suuria vaikeuksia olla suoria ja rehellisiä silloin, kun on sanomisen oikea aika ja paikka?
Rellottaako syyllinen työpaikan kulttuurissa, avoimuudessa, viestinnän ymmärtämättömyydessä vai suomalaisessa kansanluonteessa?”

vielä jokin aika sitten en hoksannut että bloggerin näytön yläosasta voi klikata seuratakseen blogeja…vinkkinä sinulle jos et tiennyt…
joskus olen tooooosiiiiii hidas mutta parempi hidas kuin… kuin mitä??? kerro!!!

sometimes i’m soooo slooooow…but better slow than… what??? tell me!!!
