Flipping out by Joyce Solano

There are many reasons we resent our parents but I'm unhappy that mine did such a poor job documenting the many banal, insignificant but fond moments of my life. The manic panic green haired days, the flannels around the waist with black eyeliner summers and ooooh those horrid painful braces years. These coming of age, albeit embarrassing moments, are now long lost dots in the pages of Joyce Solano history.

Perhaps this is why our community loves to document anything and everything around us. I know what I wore the last five birthdays, what liquor I drank to excess and what friends were there to laugh with for days after. Of course you all know as well within several minutes on my Facebook or Myspace profile.

My latest love for day to day documenting is the affordable and painlessly easy to use Flip camera. You record, flip the USB plug, connect to PC or Mac and voila your video clips can live on forever! Apparently Pure Digital, the small San Francisco based startup has already sold over a million of these cute little buggers. They come in different colors and you can get 1gb and 2gb versions. Go get one asap, vlog, blog, youtube and podcast and share your awesome collection of the little moments you don't want to forget, or the ones we won't let you forget.
