Some random photos of Fire
Few weeks ago I went through about 5000 photos of Fire from the past 2 and a half years. I wanted to find some fun photos of him to send to his "mommy".
These are few from the bunch that I send.
Wil Wheaton on network neutrality and piracy
“I frequently find myself in an unpopular position in the entertainment industry: I believe in network neutrality, I don’t believe that piracy is the end of the world as we know it (I particularly don’t believe that a download or file shared automatically equals a lost sale*) and I don’t believe in crippling the Internet to protect a business model that desperately needs to change.”
Wallpaper pack: Fire in snow
Here's a set of wallpapers I did recently for myself from this photo of Fire. As they turned out pretty good, I decided to share these with everyone.
You can download the wallpapers in different sizes here:

Saint Vacant Derby Boot
Yesterday while on my way to the office, I saw these on the window of Popot and decided to go in and try them on. I really liked the design and material of the shoes but they didn't have them in my size. Disappointed I left my details in the store–just in case they could find a pair with my size somewhere.
Well today I got a call that they found a pair. They had called the Finish designer of the shoes, Janne Lax, and he had brought a pair to the store himself. Nice!
As our office is close by, I decided to head right over.
The shoes fit perfectly, are really comfortable to wear and the design is just what I was looking for. Although they are a bit pricey for shoes (remember, I usually wear just sneakers), I decided to go with them and bought them right away.
I couldn't be happier! There's something really exceptional about well designed and crafted leather shoes. If treated right these should last me a long time.
The service at Popot was beyond awesome. If you're ever around, go over and see their store. As a nice bonus I got to talk with Janne about the shoes and got some tips on how to maintain them. If you're interested, also check out these shoes that he designed together with Makia: Makia & Saint Vacant Desert Boot.
