My endorsement goes to Obama

November 3rd, 2008

I will follow the call for action to the blogs of the world to endorse a candidate in the US presidential election. My choice are, and have always been, senator Barack Obama. I think he´s political ideas and concrete work have showed his ability to lead the worlds largest economy into the new time.

The US will face new challenges and can´t respond with more wars, they need to start talking to the rest of the world and be a part of building something better for all people. And I think this is one of the few opportunities in our time to get a US president that can make this happened.

So my hopes will be on Obama, it´s 19 hours and 45 minutes left until the voting begins.

Helsinki by night

October 12th, 2008

Yesterday I did some reporting from the last night in Helsinki. First, all of us where invited to dinner at the Swedish embassy. I took the opportunity to talk to the Swedish ambassador, Eva Walder-Brundin.

After that, some of us went to a bar to continue to celebrate Globsol and enjoy Helsinki. Danced the night away. There´s a rumor that some of the participants, workshop leaders and a blogger tried to access the sauna at 3.40pm. The same rumor told us they failed.
