Every so often I’ll come across a product that is so revolutionary that I’ll ask myself, “Now why didn’t I think of that?”. Well, the answer usually is because 1) I have no time to dream up these revolutionary new products and 2) I have no money to invest in developing these genius ideas.

One such product that is what I would call a “genius invention” is Cisco Systems’ Flip Camera. I recently purchased the Flip UltraHD camera for my office and it is truly amazing. It’s essentially the size of a small digital camera that shoots about 1 hour and 30 minutes of High Definition video. The beauty of this camera is that there are only 5 buttons and it comes with zero cords or cables. The camera is recharged and videos are uploaded via the USB drive that pops out of the side of the camera.

I highly recommend the Do you flip? YouTube site where you can find funny videos shot with Flip cameras. Below are two videos shot with Flip cameras I chose because of my love for the beach and dream to one day be a surfer chick (hence the name of my blog and my first post). By the way, what is with the latest marketing tactic of having large, impromptu dance parties in public places? Would anyone else be entirely creeped out if a hundred people broke out in a rehearsed dance routine while you were sipping a Mai Tai on the beach?
