Text, in its complex simplicity, is an attractive format. This is true for both my short stories, where I usually explore sadness, or my latest poems where I capture joy. It also applies to my work within IT; the text based command-line programs worked well forty years ago and they work effectively still to this day.

After more than ten years in Helsinki the longing for silence and simplicity has led me to the south west countryside of Finland. Originally I’m from Närpiö.
