Denmark agreed to work on it. And then I needed to leave… But most countries are part of the initiative in one way or another.

Europe is told it regulates while others build. This week I told the Nordic and Baltic ministers of culture a different story. For small countries, shared data standards, neutral intermediaries and federated infrastructure don't hold competitiveness back. They are how we compete.

Really nice game by LFC against Tottenham today. The intensity, fighting, and team collaboration were there; there were beautiful moments, and Mamardashvili was also absolute class.

PISA results are out and Estonia is the best in Europe in maths, natural sciences and computational problem solving skills. Second in reading (trailing Ireland by one point). 3rd in life satisfaction. Best in the share of pupils reaching the base levels. Not bad, but reading skills are declining.

ERRi uut seadust on sepistatud neli aastat. Riigikokku see ent ei jõudnud. Sellest on kahju, aga mitte ainult. Et eelnõu oli täislikkusest kaugel, saab järgmine kultuuriminister seda parandada. Jagasin näpunäiteid. Ses osas, kuidas teha ERRi päriselt avalik-õiguslikuks. www.sirp.ee/erri-seaduse...

Ma suvehiidlane. Aga sattusin üle mitme aasta sõitma Virtsu-Kuivastu liiniga Muhumaale. Jõudsin kogemata tervelt tund Virtsu. Ja no, äge sahmimine ikka: autod ja praamid tulevad ja lähevad. Edasi ja tagasi. Õudne transvaal.

Semi-accidentally ended up at The Orb concert in Tallinn yesterday. Had missed the info about it, but a friend was selling a ticket. Have been a fan since the 90s. Was massive! This is what I miss from the 90s: the psychedelic raves. Was a transformative experience after a very intense day.

Indrek Ibrus: piinatud geeniuse valem Tallinna linnaliiklusele
Kui auto suhteline eelis tugevneb, siis ei ole põhjust loota, et inimesed hakkavad massiliselt autodest loobuma. Vastupidi, üha rohkem inimesi jõuab täiesti ratsionaalselt järeldusele, et just auto on nende jaoks ikkagi kõige mõistlikum lahendus, kirjutab Indrek Ibrus.

Tervisi Pariisist! USA valimisi on olnud laivis parem jälgida, sest valimisrakendustes on piisavalt algandmeid alati olemas ja on saanud ajalehenurgal kiirelt trende modelleerida. Praegu on andmetega natuke segasem, aga tunduks justkui, et Kõlvart Tallinnas linnavalitsust ei tee.

Mis oht või hirm need erakoolid on. Mu lapsed õppisid erakoolis, aga mitte mingi elitismi tõttu vaid seetõttu, et erakoolidel on suurem vabadus erimudeliteks ja ka klassid on väiksemad. See ongi peamine põhjus, miks erakoolidesse minnakse. Kesklinnakoolid midagi sellist ei paku.
