[…] Serge Melnyk over at www.melnyks.com came out with his first video today (well, yesterday now, it’s past 12), the dialogue is easy to comprehend and the sound/video quality is good. He even podcasted it on iTunes, making it so much easier to download and view. I suggest all to check it out. Keep up the good work Serge. […]
