  • And The Winners Are...

    According to our research, Tamm, Saar, and Mägi are the three most popular last names in Estonia.
    They’re all beautiful names, but my favorite is Pikknurm, which in Estonian means “Long Lea” (thanks Andrus for translation).
    Welcome to our family of last names, Estonia.

  • The Benefits of Bruises

    Yesterday I spent some time with Alexander, who is 3 years old. I don’t spend much time with kids normally, so I was unprepared for the raw energy he puts into whatever he does. There were no hesitation, no fear, just a frontal attack on life.
    Equally impressive was Alexander’s mother. Even as Alexander smashed his [...]

  • Loud Angry Noises

    The guys in the picture below have been drilling outside our office for three days straight. The noise is slowly breaking us down. I think it’s one of our competitors trying to eliminate us, by using their own version of Chinese Water Torture. But we will not give in, of course.

But tonight I have a conference call scheduled at 10pm GMT, and then phone interview with a US podcaster at 11pm GMT. Better stick [...]

  • My Cousin - the Ape?

    I’ve always been fascinated by apes and monkeys, without quite understanding why.
    The opening chapter of Jared Diamonds book “The Third Chimpanzee” presents one explanation.
    According to him, and according to other studies, there are good reasons to put the chimpanzee in the human family tree. Scientists claim that the chimp is more closely related to [...]

  • Kindo's Got Some New Friends

    The family and friends that surrounds you during your first years in life make a big impact on who you become later in life. The same is true for a startup, which is why it’s so important to get the team right from the start.
    So as we today announce funding (see pdf here) from [...]
