Just had mine removed, which means that the chance to impress the NDH staff with one-armed-man jokes is coming to a close. Just a week or so and this typing thing will have returned to its regular “standards”. Still, I must admit I am rather disappointed. All that operating, poking and prodding and I still lack an adamantium skeleton and some shiny claws. Well, can’t have everything.

Hi Y’all,

It’s black Friday, that special day following Thanksgiving that also celebrates the start of the Christmas Shopping season. “The term “Black Friday” originated in Philadelphia in reference to the heavy traffic on that day.” (Wikipedia). Well, I’m pretty sure folks have started the shopping already way back, but if you haven’t here’s one reason more to get started.

Good evening to y’all and y’all,

Today, probably inspired by the Astro Boy Manga I’ve been reading for the past few days I’m sharing a few lines on the future, more precisely the future of denim and fashion in general. The comic was certainly ahead of its time like many but it’s not just the comics that inspire me. I actually had a good chat about the world of denim, where the denim scene is at the moment and where it’s heading. The denim game is interesting in the way that it has pretty much stayed unchanged with of course changes in cuts and styles but in the end the pursuit of that perfect blue has remained the same.

Hi Y’all,

Hope your week has started in a pleasant manner. I know mine did. I have to say, it’s been a while since I thought about Christmas and especially Christmas shopping. Well, of course I know it’s already a year since last Christmas, but it’s been years since I’ve been in Finland this time of the year and able to observe the Christmas preparations. The thing about Christmas is that a lot of people stress about the preparations, the presents and so on. I tend not to stress about these things and just go with the flow. I’ve seen my wife get all excited about this special Seasonal Holiday and it’s nice to observe how people each in their own way get ready for Xmas.

How’s it hangin’ gang? As the post title suggests, I’m kinda out of it. Last Tuesday I underwent an arthroscopic operation on my left shoulder and I’m currently, erm, half the writer I used to be. So, to answer the question before: it’s hangin’ in a sling. Yeah.

Hi Y’all,

What’s good at your neck of the woods? Hope it’s all good. For me, today was a good day. An eye opening day of sorts, full of ups and downs of the everyday life, but mostly sudden spurs of inspiration and realization. I mean things happen just so out of sudden and sometimes you can just have a laugh at things as it feels as there’s a certain flow to how your life moves ahead with all the twists and turns.

Hi Y’all,

Progress process always has some bumps on the road and we had to go through some growing pains with our recent server upgrade. As some of you might have noticed, we experienced some server hiccups which limited the usage of the site to some degree. So sorry for the inconvenience and sincere thanks for the support.

It’s another great Saturday morning, with gentle snow covering our doorsteps and the temperature dropping just a few degrees below zero to invite that hot breath-effect when you step outside. I can’t wait ’til it gets colder!

Hi Y’all,

Just a quick update.

In our pursuit of ever improving stability, we will be doing further server upgrades early tomorrow morning starting at 3.30 AM (Helsinki, GMT +2.00). The upgrades will take few hours and the upgrades might cause accessibility issues during this time.

Hi Y’all,

It’s weekend!

That means plenty of good time to scheme, plot. And you know what, I’m thinking of a master plan. Like Rakim said in Paid in Full.
