This weekend I'm bound for Finland to meet with the folks at Nokia. I've decided to arrive a day earlier to spend some time in Helsinki. I've never been to Finland so I'm really looking forward to it, even though it will be pitch black most of the time and probably pretty cold (although it doesn't look much worse than Boston). I'm sure I'll need to stop at a Marimekko store at some point for Kerry's sake, but other than that I'm looking for any ideas of what to see or do.  So I just need to pack warm, charge up the iPod, pile up my reading list, and stock up on melatonin and I'll be ready to go.

The rest of the week will be with the folks at Nokia seeing the latest and greatest. I'm looking forward to talking about the product research and design process as well as some of their green initiatives. I saw some of their new 'green' phones and packaging at CES, but now we get to talk more about it in detail.

If you have any good recommendations for Helsinki, please let me know. I'll also do my best to promptly post pictures on Flickr.
