Music, Movies, and Books

I've watched Blade Runner 80+ times. Nuff' said. Oh, and everything by Wes Anderson, good Film Noirs and, of course, The Fountain. Recently, really enjoyed Somewhere by Sofia Coppola.

As for music, kinda electronic... Boards Of Canada, The Orb and Autechre - classics. Long history with Goa/Psy trance, feels kinda dated nowadays... Soul, classical and jazz on the vinyl. Flying Lotus, Bibio, Joy Orbison, Grizzly Bear, Letherette, James Blake, Fleet Foxes

On the reading list:
Letters From a Stoic by Seneca
Road to Serfdom by Friedrich von Hayek
The 4-hour Body(!) by Tim Ferriss
Why The West Rules ~For Now by Ian Morris
The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two and a half days of speed hiking to the top of Halti (Finlands tallest peak) in my Vibram toe-shoes and with only the bare minimum gear. Harsh terrain, "shortcut" off the trail, getting lost, horrible weather, bloodied and semi-hypothermic, near-death situations - never felt more alive in my life.
