Trip reports, photos from travels

Amsterdam & Utrecht

More photos from Amsterdam in my gallery. Shots from my latest trip start from #20, and are mostly on the second page. The primary purpose of my recent trip to Amsterdam was of course the marathon, but since it is one of my favourite cities I thought I’d write a separate note. I also visited [...]

Portland, Oregon

I’ve been back from my ventures in the Pacific Northwest for a couple of days now, but I thought I’d write a few words about my brief visit to Portland, OR towards the end of the trip. Note that I’ve also added some photos from the trip to my gallery (see the previous link). The [...]

Reporting from the Pacific Northwest

UPDATE: I’ve added some photos from Seattle, the Cascades, Vancouver, and Portland to my gallery. I’ve been in the Pacific Northwest for a week now, with Seattle as my base. So far it has been mostly a tourist trip, but I should start by noting that I’ll be giving a talk ‘Grounding Modality’ at Reed [...]

Hiking in the Pyrenees

I’ve been meaning to write a report about my hiking/camping trip to the Pyrenees with Pekka, which took place in mid-July. I’ve only now had the chance to go through all my photos (link to my gallery with all the shots). Not that I took that many photos — in fact, my camera let me [...]

Running the Mamores

My report on this long-awaited go at fell running in Scotland in the beginning of July is a bit overdue, but I’ve been quite busy with my travels and work. You can expect some more updates in the coming weeks though, if everything goes well… The plan for this trip emerged maybe a year ago, [...]

Summer Plans

Yeah, I know, no sign of the promised philosophy posts. But that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been doing any philosophy: I’ve been working on my paper for the Hume’s Metaphysics and Humean Metaphysics conference in Tampere next week. And I’ve been running a lot. But this post is about my summer plans, which kick [...]

NYU Diaries #6

Previous installments: #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. This the final installment of my NYU Diaries, since I’m returning to Finland. Not that much to report this time. The summer seems to have finally arrived in NYC, just as I’m leaving. However I’m under the impression that NYC can get disgustingly hot in the summer, [...]

NYU Diaries #5

Previous installments: #1, #2, #3, and #4. This installment is long overdue, but last three weeks have been extremely busy. Now that I have only just over a week of my visit left things are calming down a bit, as I’ve met the deadlines that were pressing (index for my volume, my talks at NYU [...]

Metaphysics and the Philosophy of Science @ Toronto

My first visit to Canada! They say that Canada is a bit like Finland, and I can see why: things are generally fairly organized, it’s clean, and the weather is shitty — it rained most of the time. I did get an 18km run in along the shores of Lake Ontario before the bad weather [...]

NYU Diaries #4

Previous installments: #1, #2, and #3. Busy, busy, busy. I’ve got just over a month of my visit left, but I won’t be having much of a breather for the next couple of weeks at least. As you’ll know if you read my previous post, I was in Boise, Idaho last weekend for a conference. [...]
