Oldest blogger in the world?

I'm often truly amazed by my family... my great uncle is 81 years old. And he has a blog, indeed.

He's a participant in w3c.org, builds Partch drums, and strongly believes in a semantic web. And though we're ideologically very different, I can't help but admire his often quirky yet utopian ideology of humanity.

So just to irk him, I'll have to say "I hope when I'm your age I'm as sharp as you."

Greetings from Sydney, Australia.
You may like to know that Olive Riley, a feisty 108-year-old Australian great-great-grandmother, is the world's oldest blogger. She is probably the world’s oldest YouTuber as well.

Physically frail but mentally alert, Olive raised her three children on her own, survived two world wars , the Great Depression of the 1930s, and worked as a barmaid, an egg sorter, and a station (ranch) cook in many parts of Australia.

Olive’s blog, The Life of Riley, has a huge Internet following. Prepared by her friend, international film maker Mike Rubbo, and based on his interviews with Olive, it attracts hundreds of enthusiastic comments from many countries, and from bloggers of all ages. It’s posted on the Internet at http://www.allaboutolive.com.au/

Wow... I feel like I've been "infomercial'ed."

Thanks for the info Eric, it was merely a joke.
