The Flip


Today we were off to Johnny D's Uptown Lounge to meet PFFC for jazz brunch and our annual, always after Christmas, present exchange. I love brunch there especially the combos. Despite my size, I can out eat anyone if the the food we're eating is carbs. Pasta, waffles, pancakes, french toast, etc. Once, we ran out of batter and killed a waffle iron as I ate two 6 ft rowers under the table. Today, however, since I'm still feeling like I ate too much over the holidays, I refrained from the carbs but I did indulge in a Parrot Mimosa. After all, it was Christmas!

And speaking of Christmas, PFFC out did herself. We now have a fun little video camera, The Flip, to shoot all kinds of crazy stuff to post. Love it. And yes, those parrots in the video are our drinks. If you drink two of them, they give you the bird. The bird glass could have been fun for work. Maybe I should have sucked down two.

But in all seriousness, I work with lots of video at work and have at my disposal cameras ranging from professional cameras that you see newsmen carrying on their shoulders, to HD MiniDV camcorders to the "helmet cam". This little gizmo is really quite well done from it's ease of use of the camera itself to the simplicity of its included video editing software. Fun stuff!
