** The Curious Corner #46
Hi there! If you’re new, welcome! I recently gave a live session of the Curious Corner together with my brother (http://kees.plat.tel) , if you’re curious here you find find the urls (https://www.one-tab.com/page/_YpwimFXRhuwxSUQnlZQkw) . And I finally caved in to buy a nice domain name (http://curiouscorner.nl/) for this project.
