Taneli "covered" in Welcome to Finland
As an act of shameless self-promotion (forgive me) I'm letting you know about a cool interview I did for Welcome to Finland magazine.
The current issue of the magazine is so new that they don't seem to have the latest issue on their website yet. Welcome to Finland is a magazine that's targeting business travellers to Finland. They have a readership of more than 150.000 or so.
The interview and the associated photoshoot was fun to do. If my startup career fails I'll go into male modeling ;-)
You can find the paper in Finnish embassies, airport lounges, ferries, cafés, and various hotels including my favorite the luxurious Hotel Kämp. The Academic Bookstore and Stockmann also have it on sale.
In the article I talk about my startup life and history, especially where my "online community expertise" comes from originally, and share some views on attitude towards entrepreneurs and get a bit political towards the end. If you really want a copy of it, I might be able to send you one. Drop me a message and we'll see what I can do.

Hi. My name is Taneli Tikka. This is where I preach what I practice. I'm a
serial entrepreneur and a startup activist of sorts. People usually know me
from my past and present consumer Internet service projects: IRC-Galleria,
Dopplr, Muxlim, StarDoll, RunToShop, Vakuutuskone.com, and a bunch of other stuff. My
"proper" bio is behind this link. Glad to see you here, thanks for browsing
around.

Backup career
Sun, 2008-10-05 12:03 – taneliTuija: yeah that's the backup career plan ;) luckily male models don't have to worry as much about "old age", heh.
What's up with the hairstyle?

Hairstyle choices
Thu, 2008-11-20 22:44 – taneliThe interview I did for them was a "character interview" being about my life and such.
I have been training martial arts (and a bunch of related stuff) since early childhood, and they took an idea from that.
In the picture there I am wearing kickboxing wraps, like these here:

They spayed me with fake sweat and made my hair look like I just had been working out/training.
So it's combining business suits with sweat and kickboxing. Meant to give some heavy contrast. In some of the other pics in the interview I wear boxing gloves.
The photoshoot was lots of fun to do ;)
