Someone sent me a cool article about a web video maker name Derek Goss:
ORANGE CITY -- Derek Goss is once again pushing the envelope. This week he will be at a busy West Volusia intersection, holding a sign that reads, "Help me pay for elbows." Considering that Derek was born with a birth defect in which his hands are at his shoulders and he walks on his knees because he is unable to use the lower part of his legs, his antics are bound to get reactions. He was born with Thrombocytopenia Absent Radii, also called TAR syndrome. He knows people either laugh or turn away in disgust, accusing him of exploiting his disability for a laugh. Either way the reactions will make their way on the Internet to YouTube, MySpace or any of the other popular social networking sites where Goss has gained an underground notoriety with "The Derek Goss Show." Goss, 29, started the show 16 months ago, shortly after earning a degree in Web design from Florida Technical College, which included studies in graphic art, film, photography and animation. (source)

That's pretty cool that he has his own show...Is it all about skateboarding, or just a bunch of random topics?
Glad you liked it!
