Life Online

It was only a matter of time before one of our family members ended up on YouTube and not because we put ourselves there. We found out the other day from my husband’s mom that his uncle (I think actually his great uncle) was found on YouTube singing Old Man River on an airplane. It’s totally in character from what I know of his uncle. Apparently someone just found him amusing and started recording him. A family member stumbled upon the video months later and recognized him. Since then, the video has been passed along from family member to family members.

It’s actually kind of funny. And definitely a warning that we all need to be careful what we do in public because we have no idea who might be recording us and putting us on the internet! As small as video cameras are these days (not to mention video capability on cell phones), any one of us may unknowingly become a “star.” Here’s Uncle Allen!
