I am, but do I think?

I was born in 1970 to be a little brother for six-year-old Arto. Later I got to know to be called as Ari. Two years later I got a lovely sister named Anne.

My childhood I spent in Eurajoki on the west coast of Finland. I graduated from local 'highschool', lukio, in 1989. That autumn I also began to study at TUT.

My hobby with computers started when my father got an IBM PC/XT to his company in 1984. I wish I could finish it someday, but so far I haven't got any chance to do it.

The most important hobby of mine is music. I would also like to paddle and ride a bike more than I lately have done.
