  • Packing Granola in an Enamel Mug

    The online gurus claim that a product sells more if there is a video attached.

    Here I used a POD camping cup I had ordered for myself to show how to pack granola in it for travel and loaded the video into YouTube.

    Why granola instead of mug of tea? I am currently trying to sell on theme Survival September 2025, and product lines on travel and meals on-the-go aspect of it (mugs, bento boxes, luggage, mobile phone stands, anything else that could be added to the design lines…) Packing an enamel camping cup with food for travel fits the theme, I hope. Though presented as a travel tip, this would be useful for planning a short term bugout bag, or for (emergency) travel under conditions when restaurants might not be open.

    I made a critical mistake by publishing it on YouTube immediately after upload – this will bury the video with few views. Or so I am told. I have not published enough in YouTube to discover if this is true or if I am organically uninteresting.

    I also loaded a lower resolution version of it into Etsy with the mug in the video. Maybe it will attract a buyer.

    In any case, I am learning video editing, maybe the skill will be useful in the future.

    P.S. This design is for sale in Printify, Etsy and eBay.

  • Red Admiral Butterfly

    A short clip I posted on YouTube and Pinterest.

    I think this butterfly is an immigrant. The video was filmed in early June, meaning it could not have hatched in Finland.

  • A Bumblebee And A Rhododendron

    A short video from material filmed in Finland.

    I have been working through my insect clips and this is a bit too short for YouTube as a stand alone but too big for Pinterest, so I posted a mobile phone formatted version here, since the bumblebee and rhododendron video was so pretty.

    A bumblebee is an important part of Finnish ecosystem.
    A garden Rhododendron is an imported species.

    I hope this little clip will provide a relaxing break, enjoy!

  • Insects Are Vanishing – A Video

    I have now made a short video (6 min 45 s) on the subject, its consequences, its causes (especially discussing metapopulation dynamics) and about one idea how to combat this trend (microrewilding.)

  • Lemons

    A short video about lemons and other citrus in Berkeley, California.

  • Lichens

    I have been planning and working on making short form videos. The Morning Chorus was a test video filmed at one go but this is a slideshow converted into a video.

    I hope you like lichens.

    Update, July 9th, 2025: I have edited the video, trying to improve the sound quality and changing the text a bit.

    I do not know where the crack in voice track and and flicker in video come from. Some programs do not show it, others do. If you have any idea, I’d appreciate the info…

    Update, July 9th, 2025, continued: apparently these cracks were a bug in PowerPoint I used for converting a slideshow into a video – I ended up loading the individual slides and separately recorded voice tracks into Clipchamp and cutting, stretching and pasting them there into this updated video.
