Remember, remember the 5th of November

On YouTube, there is a user known as MadV, who joined the site on April 11 2006. He posted a series of videos showing incredible feats of illusion, including flying cards, turning pages of a book without touching them, and causing a ball to float in midair. Then on May 09 2006, he posted a final Goodbye video, and left Youtube. Six months later, he came back, with his famous One World video, which people responded to in their thousands. He then disappeared again.

Now, the legend that is MadV has returned, with a video entitled “Remember.”

The video invites the public, on November 5th, to respond with a video “about what encompasses you as a person, what inspires you, what brings you hope, and most importantly those little things that you may have forgotten.”

Here, for your convenience is the full video:

I will be participating in this celebration of the past, the present and the future. I will post my response here, as well as a transcript of what I have to say. I urge you to respond also.

Is this thing on?

*prods screen* There we go.

Ah, hi.  Hows it going? Good? Good. I’m Professor Diabolical (real name witheld to protect the guilty) and this is my blog, as you may have noticed. The more curious among you may be wondering just what this blog is about, and what the author is like.  The less curious would do well to read on anyway.

This blog will serve the main purpose of reporting my thoughts and feelings about the world in which we live, and the more interesting happenings of my life.

I am Professor Diabolical, politically, I’m an anarchist, economically, I’m left-wing, and socially,I’m slightly introverted.  I consider myself a geek, and code in C++, operate Windows and Linux (yes, I know, I’m a heathen) and love playing old games, (anything past 32-bit is way too flashy.) I do enjoy newer games, but I find older ones generally have more depth.
