Thoughts, Projects & Updates

Here I share my ideas and highlight various projects and demos I’ve worked on.

2025 Website refresh

My old website had flaws. See how I rebuilt my entire site from Hugo to a new Astro/Qwik stack, fixing broken services and hitting perfect Lighthouse score.

How fmkc.fi was built

A quick project to make a website for the Finnish Mechanical Keyboard Community to have a proper place to host information about the community.

Own a share of Nagu Distillery's first whisky casks!

A rare opportunity to own a share of the first whisky barrels aged by Nagu Distillery!

Neito Rev. 2 Collaboration Opportunity

I'ts been too long since Rev. 1, but sometimes life happens and things take longer than anticipated. Now, however, progression has happened!

Vortex Model M SSK kit review (Sponsored)

Review of the new Vortex Model M SSK keyboard Kit. This is a sponsored review but I'm not sensored in any way and can give my honest opinions.

Vortex x MiTo Hellcat keyboard kit review (Sponsored)

Review of the new Vortex & MiTo Hellcat keyboard kit. Despite this being a sponsored review I'm allowed to give my honest opinion on the keyboard.

My presentation at WordCamp Finland 2023

I was invited to talk at WordCamp Finland on a very short notice. A short story about me facing my biggest audience so far.

A Long-Awaited Update: Insights into the Last 8 Months of My Life

It's been a while since the last post on my blog. A lot of things have happened and there simply hasn't been enough time to give some love to my blog. Despite the turbulence, certain projects have actually progressed.

Review of the semi-popular Vortex PC66 keyboard. Despite this being a sponsored review I'm allowed to give my honest opinion on the keyboard.

Modern DIY repairs

When something breaks, do you toss it or try to fix it? As a tinkerer (and a bit of a cheapskate), I’ve repaired all kinds of uncommon items over the years. Here’s some inspiration to help you repair more and waste less.

Share a whisky cask with me!

This is a thing I've wanted to do for a long time but it makes no sense to buy a whole barrel for yourself. Come and share a whisky cask with me!

Keyboardpresentation at Fraktio HQ

I'm held a presentation about mechanical keyboards at Fraktio 10.12.2021 at 16:00. The presentation could be attended physically but there was also a stream for those who couldn't attend.

Bypassing shitnewspaper "Plus" subscription

I noticed one day that a certain shitnewspaper "Plus" service doesn't really need the paid subscription to read articles behind paywall.

Neito Rev. 2 Interest check

Let me know of your expectations of Rev. 2. I'm already working on something new. If you missed Rev. 1, this might be your chance on getting a Neito.

Story of the Neito keyboard

Creating Neito and running a GB without any experience, what could go wrong. In this blog post I'll open up about the whole Neito project, how it started and how its GB went. It has been a rocky road.

Neito Rev 1.0 Keyboard build guide

This is the build guide for Neito Rev 1.0 keyboard. It's recommended to briefly read this through before starting the assembly.

Want to share a whisky cask? (Cancelled)

I've been thinking about having a own whiskey cask but buying one alone doesn't really make sense, however buying in a group yields a more manageable amount of bottles per person. Are you interested in sharing a cask with me?

DIY whisky glass lid with Fusion 360 and 3D-printer

I found a really nice looking whiskey glass lid that was sold in the US. Buying that lid as a European would have caused high shipping and taxes so I decided on giving a shot creating the product by myself.

Animating matrix of items with just CSS

Exploring my idea of creating animated visuals with the help of SCSS

Neito-keyboard Group Buy (GB HAS ENDED)

I wanted a Alice keyboard but didn't want to settle on the ANSI-layout. There wasn't really a single alternative keyboard that filled my need so I decided to make one myself!

My keyboard journey until this day

How I got into this silly hobby of mechanical keyboards and what I've learned over the years. I can tell you, mistakes teach well!

Let's talk about Mechanical Keyboards

What makes a custom mechanical keyboard? I've listed here a short brief of everything you need to know!

Cycling Espoo - Hanko - Espoo

I had always wanted to do a longer cycling trip. In the summer of 2019, I decided to go for it. The trip turned out to be harder than expected.
