The key is made od porcelain. It's designed by Veera Kulju and I bought it from Wunder shop in Viiskulma, Helsinki.
What I have found about it on Google:
Veera Liisa Kulju (1975) is a designer who currently studies in Applied Art and Design master program at UIAH. Need to question and experience is her fuel and laughing out loud the accelerator pedal. Contrasts and on the other hand thinking makes life interesting to this logic dreamer.

Radio Free Finland, a live weekly online English-language talk show operated by Phil, broadcasted an interview with me in audio format, where we discussed various aspects of Nordic Design and in particular design in Finland, like glassware, Marimekko, Nokia etc.. Additionally we covered some interesting facts of interaction and communication between our blogs, some sad and fun moments.
You can read about it more and download the interview on this article of Finland for Thought blog, which also edited by Phil:

I took about a half of day to search for solution how to print from my MacBook Pro to printer on my home PC, I have dug through different solutions on various forums and troubleshoot guides, but nothing helped, I still had no idea how to get it. I established file and printers sharing between PC and Mac, but cannot get the printer visible in Printer Setup Utility window. finally I find the answer on Apple Support site:
How to manually add a Windows shared printer
1. Open Printer Setup Utility (located in /Applications/Utilities).
2. Mac OS X 10.4.x users: Choose Add Printer from the Printers menu, then hold the Option key while clicking the “More Printers” button.
Mac OS X 10.3.x users: Hold the Option key down while choosing Add Printer from the Printers menu.
3. Choose Advanced from the first pop-up menu.
4. Choose Windows Printer via SAMBA from the Device pop-up menu.
5. In the Device Name field, type the name you would like to use for this printer in Mac OS X.
6. In the Device URI field, use one of the following formats to link to the printer:
smb://user:password@workgroup/server/sharename
smb://user:password@server/sharename
smb://workgroup/server/sharename
smb://server/sharename
Notes: “user” is the name of a Windows user who has privileges to use the printer. “password” is the password of that Windows user. “workgroup” is the name of the Windows workgroup to which the computer sharing the printer belongs. “server” is the name of the computer sharing the printer or its IP address. “sharename” is the shared Windows printer's share name.
Tip: You don't need a “workgroup” when specifying the IP address of the computer (such as when the printer is on a different subnet), or if your Mac belongs to the same Windows (SMB) workgroup.
7. Choose the appropriate PPD or printer driver from the Printer Model pop-up menu.
8. Click Add.
