Chicken Teriyaki Bowl #7

I want a Flip Ultra. Every once in a while I get these wants. Not often, because despite having XX chromosomes, I’m not really much of a shopper or a gatherer of any kind. Probably because I’m obsessive compulsive and have enough trouble organizing and reorganizing the stuff I’ve already got.

But I’m digressing.

The Flip Ultra is a sweet little video camera, not much larger than a Blackberry. Even with accessories (OK, I do love accessories) it is less than $200.

I want to use it to create a series of short (1 to 3 min) travel shows, starting first in my home region of south-central Washington and eventually encompassing the Pacific Northwest. A view of what’s interesting from my point of view.

Unfortunately, my main business has been slow this summer, though now picking up. I just can’t convince my bookkeeper to let me buy one (I even sleep with him and do his laundry and he won’t cave).

So, in the meantime, I plan my episodes.
