Olen puhumassa tamperelaisessa roolipelitapahtuma Traconissa huomenna, lauantaina 16.2.2008. Ohjelmanumeroni käsittelee Roolipelaaja-lehden tekemistä ja on kolmesta neljään. Lisäksi olen roolipelien tulevaisuutta käsittelevässä paneelissa neljästä kuuteen yhdessä Eero Tuovisen, Ville Vuorelan ja Mike Pohjolan kanssa.
Muita hyviä ohjelmanumeroja ovat Ville Vuorelan puoliltapäivin alkava Stalker-esitys, ja Miken kolmelta pitämä Tähti-presentaatio.

Aamusydämellä
TV1 Sunnuntai klo 9.05 10.2.2008
Isä, poika ja roolipeli. Heikki ja Erik Kasurinen harrastavat yhdessä larppausta eli liveroolipelaamista. Millainen vaikutus sillä on isän ja pojan suhteeseen? Teksti-TV 333.
“Mites avovaimo suhtautuu siihen, että mies ravaa metsissä?”
“No avovaimo ravaa myös.”
Tätä katsoessa sitä ajattelee, että roolipelaamisen ja larppaamisen käsittely mediassa on kehittynyt melkoisen paljon viimeisen kymmenen vuoden aikana.

Photo book: Patrick Hook: The Frozen World - a Panoramic Vision (Compendium Publishing, 2006)
My wife got me this collection of panorama photos from the Arctic, the Antarctic and the Alpine regions of the world as a gift in Frankfurt. The book is physically huge, too large to fit into almost any bookshelf. Big photos are [...]

Photo book: Galen Rowell: Poles Apart (Mountain Light Press, 1995)
This is an insightful, comprehensive photo book. You get the impression that Rowell has been everywhere both above the Arctic circle and below the Antarctic circle. The book is organized around a series of visual comparisons between the northern and the southern polar areas, and it [...]
Here’s a treat, the trailer of the new movie by my personal gay hero, Bruce la Bruce. It’s a zombie flick called Otto; or, Up with dead people, and it looks gorgeously brilliant.
I was talking with my wife last night, and referred to my “All-Time Personal Top 10 Movies” list. She asked what was on that list, and I wasn’t sure.
After a bit of thinking, here’s what I came up with, in no particular order:
Bruce la Bruce - Raspberry Reich
Takashi Miike - Ichi the Killer

My friend Yannig Willman makes with the art:
La sortie des usines Lumière. From an idea by Jean-Mark Chapoulie, image & animation by Yannig Willman. See the proper video version here.
Movie: Ash Brannon & Chris Buck: Surf’s Up (U.S.A. 2007)
A late entry in the recent spate in penguin movies. This is a bizarre film. It has the plot, the characters, the jokes, the voices, of a surf movie, except with penguins. The hero, Cody, is a young penguin from nowhere who wants to be a [...]
