Pearls of today
During today’s interview with Henrik Hansson, I produced few bright ideas for which you can quote me (paraphrased, the original will be soon online, hope not):
R: “You go twenty kilometers away from Joensuu and there is nothing.” – when comparing North-Carelia with Africa.
H: “Is there any special characteristics a phd student must have?” R: “Let me think for a while…hm, no.”
R: “If I don’t hear anything from a student in one week, I start to be afraid he might be sick!”
H: “How did you select the topic of your thesis?” R: “Well, we were building a usability lab, that’s how it happened.”

It’s been a great exercise to rethink about the last 8-9 years. i think your pearls summarize them pretty well :)
Some interesting predictions about EdTech year 2007, made by Roman: http://cs.joensuu.fi/~rbednari/blog/index.php/a-look-at-the-2007-edtech
Can you imagine what could be ahead, let’s say at 2011, or even in the second half of 2010?
Oh the glorious PhD. I can’t wait till I actually have one of those one day.
Pearls, that was one of the most brilliant spam comments I have ever witnessed. It is 100% relevant. Should I praise randomness or the flying spaghetti monster?
I haven’t see such a good comment spam for years. Thanks Andrés. :)
Ilkka: nobody dares, obviously.
