Yes, we did arrive the same month, February was a good month! I always enjoy reading about your ants and hope to see more of them in the spring!

Hi Pasi,
Nice to meet you on Newsvine again! Still doing a great job :-)— A.M.Sall
Congratulations on your big Newsvine paycheck. Don't spend it all in one place.
— schnoo
Pasi's a really great guy. You definitely need to put him on your watchlist. He also has the second best money-making group on the 'Vine (after mine, of course).
I like you and I like your ants.... entertaining, quirky and not your average joe...... definitely worth a minute or 10 of your time on the vine!
Love your ant stories and want to know more about you! You've been tagged to provide 8 things we don't know about you.
— Angel_C
Pasi is always able to bring a smile to my day...but I need an update on the ants!
He's funnier than I am. He posts more science articles than I do. I feel like that last neanderthal looking at the first cro-magnon when I read his column.
Or the other way around. Whichever one of those is more advanced, that is Pasi.

Like most, Pasi arrived on Newsvine unannounced. Yet in just 3 months, his voice can be heard far and wide, and his personality is shining through.
He offers varied views on a number of disparate topics, yet he does so with great sensitivity and respect for the diverse culture that resides on Newsvine.
Most of all, Pasi brings fun, a vital ingredient in any community. Fun at what he does; a passion for what he follows (yes, even Ants!). A great addition to the Vine.
When I found out Pasi keeps ants as pets, I thought he might be a little weird. When I found out he runs half-marathons for fun, I thought I should probably avoid visiting Finland altogether.
But then I found out Pasi is a kind, generous, intelligent and funny guy, who I'm proud to have as an online friend.
I'm still a bit worried about the ants though....
