Goodbye Martin

October 17, 2006

I was checking out YouTube this afternoon and came across an online obituary. An old fella’s wife gave a short speech about her deceased husband, Martin. Apparently, he was a video blogger of some renowned, who recounted his days a soldier in the second world war in short exerpts posted over the past couple of weeks.

I looked at a few of his old posts and they were quite wonderful. It was really refreshing to see some one not hamming it up in order to get a million hits. Apparently Martin took his que from
Jim, an Englishman who is pretty prolific, and his wife who encouraged him to sit down in front of the camera a few weeks ago.

Check out one of Martin’s posts – it looks like his first.
