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 »

Every once in a while I’ll be walking down Second Avenue and see a guy with a cat on his head and think, damn! Why don’t I have something to record this with?! Or I’ll be home after a night on the town and catch my roommate spouting off some of the best drunk philosophy ever and wish there was a way to capture her wisdom.

But being the poor individual that I am, I can’t even afford a digital camera, and the tiny, no sound video application on my phone takes such a long time to start working that whatever I wanted to record is gone and over by the time I’m ready.

And what about those of you about to go abroad? Don’t you wish you had something to capture the exotic sights and sounds with that didn’t cost an entire semester’s tuition to buy?

Well, I think I might have found something that could help us all.

The Flip Video camera is a pocket sized digital camera that comes with a built in USB port and it’s own simple editing software—all for less than about what it would cost you to buy a new outfit. Read More »

Being short, it’s almost impossible to find jeans that look good. Most of the time, designers completely bypass the possibility that anyone buying their stuff is under 5’9”, thus making it impossible for a petite individual to know if she’s wearing them the right way.

Of course, once I finally find a pair that isn’t 7 inches too long, the first question I always ask myself is, does my ass look good in this?

My thoughts must have been loud enough to echo across the canyons of Arizona, because an upscale jeans shop in Scottsdale recently introduced The Buttcam. Read More »
