Jaakko Wallenius

(Suomenkielinen versio lopussa)
I would like to call myself a thinker nowadays, as thinking has been my favorite form of entertainment during the last few years. Perhaps I am finally just starting to the advantage of the mass of information I have collected during the last half century. The practical results of my thinking are to be seen in the Being Human -blog at http://beinghuman.blogs.fi
New information has just always been the best form of entertainment for me. My everlasting love for history started at the elementary school at tender age of nine, when I did read the 600 pages of The Pocket World History, admittedly skipping the dull parts about culture...
I have studied history, political history, political science and journalism in universities of Turku and Tampere, but have never graduated from neither.
A brief but tempestuous political career blew the man prematurely to to wide world from the comforting womb of university.
A more steady career in journalism followed and I have been a professional writer and journalist for the past 20 years.
At present I live in a small town in a small house with a wife, two not so small teenagers, two middle-sized dogs and 14 fish of various sizes.
By day I work as a journalist writing about local economy in our local newspaper. Its a job i have held for the past 20 years.
In the evenings and week-ends I blog in my six blogs in two languages and repair the computers of the good citizens of our little town as a private entrepreneur.

Uusi tieto on aina ollut minulle ylivoimaisesti parasta viihdettä. Rakkaus historiaan syttyi jo kansankouluaikana, mutta pitkään melkoisesti aikaa vei myös tietotekniikkaan syventyminen. Viime vuosina olen perehtynyut myös filosofiaan hieman laajemmin.
Opiskelin aikoinaan historiaa, sosiologiaa ja valtio-oppia, mutta tuolloin lyhyeksi jäänyt poliittinen ura vei miehen pian mukanaan. Jo yli 20 vuotta sitten alkoi nykyinen taloustoimittajan ura.
Asun pienessä omakotitalossa Lohjan Asemanpellolla vaimon, kahden koiran, kahden lapsen ja viime laskun mukaan 14 kalan kanssa.
Lähes 30 toimittajan kestänyt toimittajan ura päättyi vuoden 2011 sairastumiseen parantumattomaan syöpään. Ennen sairastumistani korjasin kymmenen vuoden ajan sivutoimisena yrittäjänä lohjalaisten tietokoneita ja toimin MikroBitti -lehden vakituisena avustajana.
Minulla on myös puolenkymmentä blogia ja toimin useiden rationaalista ajattelua ja humanismia edistävien Facebook-sivujen ylläpitäjänä.
