A nice day in Cembra. We were invited to two baitas ("huts") and hiked up to Lago Santo.

Our hosts sang a very moving song in honor of the Pope. In the evening at 8pm several church bells in the Cembra valley rang for a long time. Probably related to the Pope's death.

Time for the traditional micselfie (micie?) after final shift of the 24h recording & traffic count in #Nauvo. Had to finish a few mins early to make it to the 22.30 ferry to Parainen. The ferries gives the trafficscape of Nauvo a special character since cars often arrive/leave in clusters. #someco

I am not the only one taking the ferry from Parainen to #Nauvo today. Can't even see the "Altera" ferry from where I am in the queue. Going to record some "potato sounds" at the potato festival today.

Matkan varrelle on mahtunut paljon. On oltu virkeä uusi tulija, myöhemmin mm. osa pörssilistattua konsernia ja Suomen edustaja kansainvälisessä Saatchi & Saatchi -mainostoimistoketjussa yli kymmenen vuotta. Viisi vuotta sitten LM& ja Someco yhdistyivät. Tänä vuonna kiillotetaan kuohuviinilasit! 🥂

”At that particular moment and place, her affordance was constructed from a real-time acoustic environment and a two-channel mediated reality of 19th century opera and smartphone media feeds.

Imagine her on a balcony in 1975.”

Yes, the group did blog posts with pics and audio snippets during the 2000 field work. GSM mobile network took it's time (like, forever) to upload but it was possible! 3kt html, some 200kt mp3 + 20kt jpeg = 223 kt for one blog post.

so the refundability is managed by a third party? Is it actually like some kind of insurance? I'd like to see a "powered by SomeCo" or something if that's the case.
