Feed Me Bubbe and Millie Garfield in the WSJ Today:

"Online video-sharing sites are a magnet for technology-crazed teens, aspiring actors and people who like to show off their pets. Now they are starting to attract another demographic: those people's grandparents...

Bayla "Bubbe" Sher's online cooking show "Feed Me Bubbe" has developed a following on video-sharing site Blip.tv and other video sites and has generated thousands of emails from fans, which Ms. Sher, who goes by "Bubbe," or grandmother in Yiddish, responds to herself.

Ms. Sher and her 23-year-old grandson, Avrom Honig, hatched the idea for the show, which Mr. Honig estimates has been watched more than 200,000 times based on internal logs, as a way to preserve certain family recipes like Bubbe's sweet and sour meatballs. They have made more than a dozen episodes to date, mapping out scenes and practicing each recipe beforehand.

"It is a great opportunity for us to spend some time together and to share recipes for the future," says Ms. Sher, who is in her 80s. For Mr. Honig, it offers a chance to showcase his grandmother's tasty cooking and zestful personality: "I get to share the wonderful feelings Bubbe gives me...with the world."

...While some are looking to trace back through decades of history or document big events, others are recording more mundane moments. To help preserve her memory, 81-year-old Millie Garfield of Swampscott, Mass., decided to feature herself in a series of videos documenting one of her 49-year-old son Steve's pet peeves -- namely, her persistent requests for his help opening coffee cans, rethreading dental floss or opening other tightly sealed bottles...

"We have fun with it and it captures our relationship," says Mr. Garfield, who also has his own video blog. "I am very proud of her."

Nice to see the WSJ take a moment and focus on Long Tail Internet TV shows.

It was great meeting both Avrom and Bubbe and spending time with them at the Network2 booth inside the Video on the Net Pavilion on the Spring 2007 VON show floor. And congrats to Steve Garfield and Millie Garfield.

A guy is walking past a big wooden fence at the insane asylum and he hears all the residents inside chanting, Thirteen! Thirteen! Thirteen!
　　Quite curious about this, he finds a hole in the fence, and looks in. Someone inside pokes him in the eye.
　　Then everyone inside the asylum starts chanting, Fourteen! Fourteen! Fourteen!

Actually, I like very much Millie's blog. Can't explain, but there is something special in it ... . At http://eYiddish.org , we help our students learning Yiddish online interactively with teachers.

For those having some Yiddish speaking experience, our free Practice Program enables Yiddish lovers to speak together over the internet. http://eyiddish.org/practicing-yiddish.htm

Thanks for the link.

I'd like to point out that the author of this article got the facts wrong and gives a false impression.

My mom didn't decide to do these videos to preserve her memory. I decided to do them to capture fleeting moments. My mom usually says
writing a blog helps keep her mind healthy.

Helping my mom open stuff is a pleasure and in no way a pet peeve. I never said that.

When she says, "...her persistent requests for his help" THAT'S WRONG. This makes my mom sound like she is always complaining and asking for help. WRONG. She saves up items for whenever I visit.

My mom says:
"I don't think it's a pet peeve of yours plus, it was your idea to do the videos"

I could write even more about the poor experience that I had with this interview process, but I'll just leave it at that.
