We posted about Australian blogger Olive Riley last year. She was 107 years old when she started her blog, The Life of Riley. Olive was 108 when she died Saturday in a nursing home. Link to story. Link to blog. -via Geek Like Me

In this excerpt from the film All About Olive, a documentary by Mike Rubbo about the life of Olive Riley, she recounts a childhood fight and shows us she can still dance at age 104.

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

I always thought the oldest blogger was that old fellow who recounted his days as a soldier during WW1 or was it WW2?

I was fortunate enough to send her my wishes last year and she replied! She had an amazing blog/life and she will be missed.

I looked in on her once, but never took the time to explore the blog further. Damn. And that second video needs a warning for the end part, I needed a box of Kleenex! Good on ya, Ollie, one Aussie to another.
