For awhile there I was slightly obsessed with posting photos on Facebook. Ok, slightly may be an understatement. I would go somewhere, take pictures and immediately come home and post, tag and caption them. Then I would not so kindly email everyone else at the event and ask them to do the same…day after day until they did.
I have since gotten over my Facebook Photo Album addiction (though I am still working on my Stalking Other People’s Photos issue), but have moved onto bigger and better things: video.
Pictures are great, but there are just some moments that can’t be captured on still “film.” Like drunken dance moves. Or karaoke. Or that time I secretly listened to my guy friend trying to pick up the cougar at the bar. (Priceless.)
I have been obsessed with finding a video camera, but those little suckers are typically pretty expensive - even on Black Friday - and tend to have a lot more going on than I need. Let’s be honest, I am not makin’ an Oscar-worthy film here; I simply want something small to take out to the bar and capture all those moments I would never remember if they weren’t on film. You know what I’m talkin’ about.
Well, I found one. It isn’t anything brand new - Oprah introduced it last year - but I still am quite excited about it and think you will LOVE me for bringing it to you: the Flip Cam. This thing is about the size of a regular digital camera, takes up to 60 minutes of movies and has a little USB arm that plugs right into the computer for easy Facebook uploading. Oh yeah - and it’s only $129! Read More »




I love to love things. It’s true. So much so that I used to say “Love You” on my voicemail - until my friends instructed me that not only is it not true (”Do you LOVE your Dr’s office who calls to confirm your appointment?”), but that it was also a tad creepy to the strangers calling to leave messages on my phone.
