file sync

some of my files are on the laptop. some are on the 'cloud' (super-cool-trendy term for saving your files on the internet and on not your hard disk-well basically. i'm such a newbie in using it) some are even on my camera. and now i'm back to my desktop after a long while in finland. how am i going to get all the stuff together???

working on my laptop had its funny moments. i put some books under it to avoid that nightmare neck pain (what a designerly solution!!) i had to get used to the super small screen (now the desktop screen seems like a football field) and the crappy low-contrast colors. not to mention the uber low computing performance. the thing i did not understand in finland that everyone -and that means everyone- was working on laptops and they didn't seem to mind the performance while i just constantly wanted to scream 'get the work done already and don't crash!!!' oh, not to forget to mention- it was almost forbidden to use windows;)

hihi i love you whichever operating system you fancy...

so what was that all about?

yeah, as you may have noticed, the previous project was a reinterpretation of a finnish 'kuksa', a hand-carved wooden cup that finnish people love to carry around in the forest. the idea was to provide newcomers to helsinki a means (muksa) to discover the interesting cafés in the city through cheaper coffee for carrying your own cup!

this was also a group project, thanks to my groupmates and we had yet another exhibition in the halls of the lovely aalto university.
