Oh, you found one on youtube. I just torrented it the other day because I couldn't find any that weren't blocked in this country. Will be watching later.

It was a bit creepy to re-listen to this after he died. Everyone referring to him in the present tense... *shiver*

It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

Actually if you watch it again you might notice that occasionally people refer to him in the past tense too. Made me wince once or twice, considering he was probably watching it from his hospital bed.

I think Salmon Rushdi was the culprit!

It doesn't matter though does it?
