Coincidental timing?

I just talked about your passion here to my colleague John Kneeland, who focuses on Lumia and Windows Phone ---> https://twitter.com/#!/SirKneeland Contact him, he can put you on exciting tracks promoting these products and everything behind them.
Finally--someone trying to turn enthusiasm for the platform toward explaining WHY it's any good instead of scribbly, graffiti rantings grating against the crowd here. I wish you all great luck--although, I'm incredibly inclined to bet against these efforts. Still, good luck!

Also.. oh man! I can't WAIT to see how Lumiaman handles this. haa! Ahem.. but still. Seriously. Good luck. No pressure! ...but the entire platform is counting on you.
