We've been busy these past few months. I've made some posts on LinkedIn, but I thought I'd recap those here and add some extra context. First of all, a business partner of ours is doing the RideLondon bike trip at the end of the month in support of a good cause called stem4. In addition, we will equip his bike with air quality sensors and track his ride. Read more about all of this here. Good luck Terence!

Mushroom Season

Mushroom season is in full swing and I've taken some time to go find Chanterelle mushrooms. These tend to be the easiest to deal with, and taste really good too. They can be a bit difficult to find (and get picked very fast). The outdoors.fi website has more information on mushrooms (and berries), and don't forget to check out the two links at the bottom of that page for more information on the different varieties. As always, don't go out picking without proper knowledge on the topic...

The best part of my search was that I found a decent quantity on my own plot of land this year. My recipe: fry in butter, add some pepper and salt and serve with a nice grilled steak, preferably grilled on charcoal made on the spot from a combination of pine and spruce wood.

 

Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse occurred on March 20th 2015. The weather was great without clouds, so that made for perfect viewing. I'm guessing we were at about 80 percent magnitude. It was also pretty special since the eclipse happened at the same time as the spring equinox. The below videos are a quick attempt of capturing the event at 63.1000° N, 21.6167° E (Vaasa, Finland). The videos are all at 30x real time.
