Living in Espoo, Finland with Petri Takala my high school sweet heart, and we have a son Tomi Takala and two dogs Ronja and Linda.

I’m a life long student… and enjoy learning new things. M.Sc. Eng. & Lic. Tech. at Helsinki University of Technology and currently studying for a PhD degree at the same place.
Besides my work and studies I love gardening, flowers, forestry, cooking, wining and dining with friends, walking, hiking and skiing. In my sports club I try out periodically new forms of exercise. And I enjoy exploring with social media and Web 2.0 technologies. Luckily I can book my sport club hours in web.

Professionally I am fascinated about organizational change and development and learning … more about that some day…
Hiya, Minna! Great to see you over here diving into the Internet Blogosphere! WELCOME on board!! I actually got pinged by David Ing, who mentioned you just got started blogging and although I am travelling at the moment in the US, I look forward to reading some more in detail some of the fascinating stuff you have been sharing already. So welcome on board, once again, and look forward to further interactions! Here and elsewhere, of course, in the various social computing spaces!
Thank you Luis !! This feels like coming out of closet
and beginning of a new, more open era 
David Ing has been really great. I have plenty to learn – looking forward !
Hi Minna! Just cycling back into this blog post after seeing the links back to my own blog. I am really really excited to see you blogging and will certainly be commenting some more on another blog post you have put together. But best part of it is that while we await for that occasion to get together once again, we can certainly keep up with the conversations through the blog and whatever other social networking site, like FB. Wonderful stuff, Minna! Really glad to see you are coming out of the closet on your blogging act! And already doing a lovely piece of work!!
PS. I am enjoying quite a bit your Flickr pictures, too!! hehe Keep it up!
