FLIRTing with the Crowds

“Ladies and gentlemen, we’re currently approaching Helsinki…”

Back to blogging after the summer. At the start of June I took up a position as a Developement Manager at eChannels, TeliaSonera Finland - a decision that at first surprised many but one that so far has felt very good. We’re a 30 strong department with roughly half the people actually being employees of Satama, so I’m kinda working part at the client and part at a creative digital agency. People are cool and resources exist for doing things that really matter, so it’s rewarding in that way.

Just read about the Google Flight Simulator (via Mashable). A fine example of Google’s playful and explorative culture. You can start your flight with an F-16 (my obvious choice, having been a prominent Falcon pilot in my Amiga 500 days…) or an SR22 (for more laid back circling around your hometown). Made a few low passes over our house, a very cool and fun feature, although a totally useless one. To activate the flight sim, just press ctrl-alt-A (while being over the U.S.)
