It took a few weeks after I remembered why I don’t like Wordpress. That being said, I’m back on Ghost CMS.

Being quite interested in quantified-self movement, I tend to collect …

Last Friday there was an official “bring your child to work” -day in Finland. As we often do at Gapps, we did things a little differently. We arranged our own “Bring your parents to work” -day.
