![Toothache](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3275/2943163053_8f00eebe23_s.jpg "No money to pay for the dentist. You know me, I'm a DIY kinda guy. You can do anything with a pair of pliers.
Yes it hurt like hell. I wonder what the Tooth Fairy will bring me tonight...
Inspired by "Nyt on mies!", Trio Niskalaukaus:
<i>Suureen hetkeen valmiina
puoli pulloa nauttineena
päänsä painaa tuvan nurkkaan
hohtimet hoitavat hamuaa
Järki lähtee, ääni jää
veri täyttää nielun suun
kyllä mies kivun kestää
mutta ei häpeää</i>

Replaced the original black (boring) strap with a brown Hirsch for a more vintage look. I think it looks really cool and much more "flieger" now!")
![Arduino midi pedal box](http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5018/5471718244_504e0084b4_s.jpg "And it's done! Old Thomson wireless router fitted with an arduino duemilanove inside, 8 leds on digital out pins, one potentiometer and a footswitch on analog inputs. The footswitch is an old Zoom expression pedal and it has a 100k pot inside it. The midi out port sends midi control change message. The control function is selected with the "select" pot and the value is adjusted with the footpedal. I can send any midi message from this however, so I could turn this into a midi sequencer of sorts, just send midi notes instead of control change messages.
I can choose an effects mode with the toggle switch, which will modulate the control change parameter in different ways. So far I have a random mode, ramp and up-down modes, demonstrated in <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5XRaIapBGM\" rel=\"nofollow\">this youtube video</a> (or <a href=\"http://vimeo.com/20298364\" rel=\"nofollow\">the same video on vimeo</a>).
The red freeze button allows me to lock the pedal once I've found a sweet spot. Pretty kick ass for my first Arduino projects! If anybody is intrested in source code or schematics, leave comments below.
Arduino midi out is really easy, <a href=\"http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Midi\" rel=\"nofollow\">check out this tutorial</a>.

![Pääpostitalo, The Post House of Helsinki](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2064/1590623323_fae901e9e2_s.jpg ""The Post House is a model example of 1930s Finnish functionalism and was one of the country’s largest construction projects of its time. After its completion in 1938, it soon became a milestone in Finnish architecture. Architects Erik Lindroos, Jorma Järvi and Kaarlo Borg designed the building, and its interior was planned by famous interior designers of the time, such as Arttu Brummer, Runar Engblom, Birger Hahl and Paavo Tynell.
The Post House has been modernised on a number of occasions. It was expanded with extra storeys in the 1950s, and Helsinki’s first helicopter pad was built on its roof for the 1952 Olympics. The latest refurbishments began at the end of 2001."

![Stranger #7 - The blacksmith's slave](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/194/494559688_62931a1a17_s.jpg ""May I take a picture of the blacksmith? - No no, I am merely the blacksmith's poor slave, but of course you may take a picture."
Happy face for a slave ;) He was very chatty and told me he is also a part-time shaman. And <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/wstryder/493701293/\">this guy</a> is the blacksmith. Yes, there's much in Helsinki for tourists to see.")
