Flip Video announced recently that consumers may design their own Flip Mino pre-purchase and I thought this was such a great idea that I had to blog about it. As many of you know, the Flip Video Recorder came into play last year and literally began to revolutionize the world of digital cameras. I got a Flip Video Ultra for Christmas last year and it truly transformed my “online digital” life so much so that I started the Moxie Mo Show with my Flip Video.

Now it looks like Flip has listened to consumers and just in times for the holidays, they are allowing users to custom design their own Flip Mino. You can upload your own image or choose from hundreds of different patterns to ensure your Flip Mino is as unique as you are.

For those of you interested in digital video recorders, I highly recommend the Flip Video Recorder. I know some video enthusiasts will tell you that the Flip is “too cheap” and it’s not professional. I beg to disagree. Even though I’ve upgraded to a Canon ZR950 for most of my digital recording, I still use my Flip Video all the time and I am still amazed at the quality of the footage. It truly is a beautiful video and it’s so darm simple to use. Done and done.

In episode 16, I talk about that “Olympics Song” that everyone is talking about and I tell you who sings it and where you can buy it! It’s truly moxtastic. Also, I’m using my new Canon ZR950 to tape the show and is it really true there’s a celebrity who just created their own social network? Sadly, it is true. Finally, we discuss a new digital camera that’s sure to make you wet as well as other moxie items!

My Dad, who I adore yet absolutely disagree politically, finally has something in common with me: we love great comedy, specifically The Daily Show. I’ve been telling him over and over again to watch it and he used to say “Absolutely not! I’m not going to watch some liberal idiot.” Oh, how he was wrong. He LOVES Jon Stewart now! And here’s why? Because although the show is freaking hysterical, there’s an absolute truth to his comedy. Jon Stewart tells it as it is regardless if you’re on the right or the left! The truth, in fact, is funny!

Regardless of your political views, you can’t deny (if you’re a sane person) that Fox News, CNN, or “insert city here” news all have a level of selling fear to their audience. Why else would some one tune in? Fear sells. Obama is a Muslim terrorist! Gas prices will be $7.00 by 2010! Iraq never had weapons of mass destruction! Oh wait, that’s actually truth, not fear. Sorry! You get my point…

So why do I bring up The Daily Show with Jon Stewart? Because he has a phenomenally, successful show. Studies have shown that my demographic (educated twenty to thirty somethings) watch The Daily Show to get the REAL news versus the insane “un-biased” Fox News or CNN. That should really wake up America, in my opinion. A “comedic” news show on Comedy Central is getting more viewers than the “real news.” But does it really surprise you?

I can best some up my point in the post by showing you exactly what I’m talking about with a clip from The Daily Show (it’s always my way of ‘bragging’ that I have a RedLasso account!)

So what are your thoughts, my friends? Aren’t you tired of fear being presented to you every single night? Instead of believing and fearing fear itself, why not laugh at it? I do.
