Seems like my unplanned break from Mastodon (and the rest of social media) has quietly come to an end — just like it quietly began. No big story, it just… happened. And now I’m back. I think. Might even update my homepage too, who knows!

Another puukko finished!

Stainless steel blade and a handle made from stabilized burl. The shape of the handle is finally starting to feel like what I’ve been aiming for all along—getting closer to that perfect fit.

I made some leather covers for notebooks. The covers are big enough for passport-sized notebooks – so you could use ones like the Traveler's Notebooks.

My son didn't want me to change the neck on my old guitar, because he thought the original neck was fine. I had no choice but to make a new guitar.

  • Neck: maple with rosewood skunk stripe
  • Body: swamp ash, hollow body
  • Hardware: random secondhand hardware
  • Pickups: Tonerider Blues Alnico II
  • Finish: Shellac

I have made some updates to the site's style, but there may still be room for improvement.

Additionally, I have switched from using Hugo to a custom static page generator for content aggregation.

My first diy puukko for this summer. Blade is stainless steel. Handle is made of curly birch and acrylester resin.


I made a small command line tool for time tracking with absence.io. I mainly use a terminal and a text editor when I’m working so now there is no need for browser when I need to change my status.

The new micropub server seems to be working well. With a bit more fine-tuning it could be ready for release.


I did a rewrite of the micropub server, which is still a work in progress. The previous version was written in PHP, but the new version is written in Crystal.


A few months ago I tried Nim because I wanted to learn a new language, but it didn't work for me. But I immediately fell in love with Crystal.


Winter still trying to hold on. -28℃.

Night at Jättiläisenmaa.


I spent a couple of days learning about micropub.

I found it! I've been looking for this picture for a long time, but I couldn't find it anywhere. My photo archiving system is a disaster.


Permanent snow for the winter 2022-2023


Recently, I lost my Instagram account. It was frustrating and disappointing. I had built up a significant following and enjoyed connecting with my followers.

However, I decided to move on and start using a website to share my content. I will share my content also on Mastodon, Pixelfed, Github, and Flickr.
