[Item Permalink] The Unknown -- Comment()
Kuro5hin.org discusses Donald Rumsfeld... the Poet?:
The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

-- Feb. 12, 2002, Department of Defense news briefing

[Item Permalink] Column about camera-equipped mobile phones -- Comment()
I wrote about camera-equipped mobile phones a couple of months ago, and the text has now appeared a net column (in Finnish). And it seems that the text I wrote on efficiency in the workplace will appear as a column later on.

The now published column tells about the hazards a mobile with camera can cause to your (mental) health. I must admit that I almost forgot that I had written a column about mobile phones, but the text is not all that bad.
