Reading texts like this one, of people tooting their own horn in third-person. Ah well, let's go on and see how much more stuff I can cram into this text-area. In 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, he set up vc4all.nl together with Bèr Kessels. An online privacy-friendly, free-to-access video calling platform based on the open source software Jitsi to keep in touch with friends and family. As a hobby he likes to create weird sounds & combine this with old Public Domain footage. Did you know Björn is quite a decent cook? He loves to make vegetarian wraps with veggies, and according to his wife, too much beans. He looks forward to be giving a workshop with his kids. Björn is interested in way too many things. Sorry, this is just too much! Are you still here? Perhaps you've read enough about me. Now, go away! Ride a bicycle into nature or read a book :)
