.. where Ikea gets stuck in snow.. in April!

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

 

i guess u are wondering where I have been during the Easter? let me tell u – i got stuck in the snow!!

yes, that’s right. we got a very nice bunch of snow! in April! i can tell u, that it is not very common here in Estland to get snow in April. Especially here in the Kadriorg area. It’s because of the Sea – which is warm, my friend Lotte says. In fact, almost all snow had melted in last couple of weeks. So, over weekend a large bunch of snow came out of nowhere!! so i went to check it out and got stuck!! well, i wasn’t stuck for all weekend of course because my friend Tik (the Moon Rabbit) found me really fast and came to rescue. But of course, then we had to go and visit some of his Moon friends and help to find the chocolate eggs. I found one with the rabbit ears, hehe! so, in fact, i will go and check if there’s any more snow left, i can do last sledging of the year! maybe.. until then, let me know what kind of fun did u have over easter? have fun and cu l8r!

.. where Ikea tries out photocopying :D

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

hehe, guess what! i followed the advice of my good friend @mooseherd and tried out this new thing called photocopying! i kind of liked the idea from the very beginning, because it starts with an “F”. kind of, don’t you think? so, because of the fun fotografs that Mooseherd had done, it definitely looked like a fun thing to do. The only problem, that we, giraffes have generally is that we *don’t* have many photocopiers. and, when u think about trying to have some fun fotocopying done, it can be a problem…
so, we had our eyes open for a few weeks in fact and finally we found one!! i can’t tell u where it was, i’m afraid, but it is in a secret location!! wohoo, i like secrets a lot, u know! so, me and Undu went to try this out. (I must say that Undu was – as i found out later – doing a little bit sheeping in the process, but luckily no-one found out. Until later of course, when I found out, but we agreed that we’ll keep it a secret as well, because it was in this very same secret location). so, we agreed that Undu will keep watch and I will try to work with the photocopier. It was gr8 success! i will only post this one fotograf, but i can tell u right now that there were more, hehe! but they will not be published. at least not for now anyways, hehe! – this is as much as i am allowed to tell u right now.. so, better get going, before i tell u too much.. have fun and cu l8r!!
ps. have you tried photocopying yourself? let me know in comments, jei!

.. where Ikea goes to garage48 demo event

Hello there! It’s me, Ikea!

guess what? last weekend something fun happened in Tallinn and it was called garage48. i have to say that we, giraffes, don’t know much about garages usually, but apparently it was not in a garage at all. in fact, it seemed like it was in a restaurant of some sort, if u ask me. but i know from my friend Angel (he knows these things) that this event was not about cooking, it was about music. and it was a hackatlon. i’m not exactly sure what it means, but it’s a lot like running, except instead of running you do programming. and some other fun things like marketing. and if you do it over 48 hours, that’s like a marathon running. i like running a lot, u know! but i can’t tell u for sure, because when i got there, most of this hackatlon-ing was already done!

instead, there were presentations. they call these presentations “demos” and apparently they (the teams) have 3 minutes to explain what they have been doing last 48 hours. and the best one gets a diploma. so it’s a lot like the Olympics. Except that u don’t need to do a presentation there, i’m afraid! so, as u can see i took a couple of fotografs only because later, when i was planning to make more the projects got very much fun.. so i didn’t! but check out the projects! my favorite is SongBoutique, because i have really been looking for a nice song to send my friend Sipsik for her birthday..

well, in fact, i need to go check if they are in itunes already. so, until then, let me know if you have been to any hackatlons recently? have fun and cu l8r!
