A star is born

Just a couple of days I ago I posted about geriatric1927 and his first try at YouTube. Quickly his vblog posts have become some of the most popular. Antony Mayfield writes:
Already the video-sharing community's members have taken to him and he has found an enthusiastic audience, notching up over 430,000 views of his videos, approaching 7,000 subscribers and almost 9,000 comments (mostly positive).

The man is a technology enthusiast, who proudly tells of making many friends on MSN Messenger and Skype prior to his YouTube experiment.
I’m just so taken by geriatric1927 or Peter as his real name is. What amazing man! He shows very clearly that everybody can embrace new technology and that creativity can take you a long way. Social media can't get any better than this.
