I miss the great Isaac. The good doctor was always my favorite author as a lad. I could hardly wait for his pen to hit the paper again. I read it all: The mysteries, the science and the utterly great SF. Who cared if he was afraid to fly? I sure didn't. I just read every word as avidly as any true fan should. Did I mention I miss the man?
I was running a BBS back in the day (oh yes kiddies there WAS life before the web) and I can remember writing a eulogy when I heard that he had passed. Well said my friend.
FYI: If you use Miro to search YouTube for that video (include the poster's handle, it works better), you can download the video to your hard drive, save it to CD, and watch it even if the original poster removes it. It'll usually download it as an MP4 file, though it sometimes downloads as a Flash Video (.FLV) You can watch either format with the VLC media player.
Good point Matt, that is an excellent way to maintain videos. As for the blog though, I am not sure legally where I stand so for me just embedding the code to play the video was safer legally. Every time I put up video content instead of just the code, Blogger asks if I own the video... So for the blog at least, I point the code to where it is and hope the video doesn't go away. lol Thanks for the tip.
