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.

I received recently an invitation to join some online group of designers on
coroflot.com, and after the click I come into the space, that I already familiar with, from my experience with
flickr and other web 2.0 sites. I haven't visited coroflot a while, and maybe I missed this big change some time ago, but anyway, here the fresh new community for me, and pleasantly, it is all about design! Worthless to say that I started to check out their new features and found many of them pretty good. Beside with groups that seems as copied directly from flickr, folks on coroflot added some social networking functions that reminds already known sites, even their system message's texts awoked some sort of deja vu:
Hello pomopomo,
Your profile has just been added to xxxx's network at Coroflot.com.
If you don't know this person, xxxx is probably a fan of your work, and wants to easily find your profile later.
You can view xxxx's profile here:
www.coroflot.com/xxxx
If you want, you can add a link back to saeed's profile. Remember, only links that you make will show up in your public profile.
At Coroflot we're all about making design connections!
Thanks
Coroflot Co-PilotThis text remind me the standard text of flickr's email notifications. But anyway, I don't blame them for that, maybe they are in affiliation with Yahoo, or at least all of these texts are similar nowadays. The main thing is that we probably got new powerful tool for build own professional networks and communicate easier, that works for our good, finally.
You welcome to join my network on coroflot:
