The Flip video camcorder is this season’s all-around best. Hell, even Oprah’s a fan. As the high and mighty, fourth-in-the-staff-box managing editor, I wish I’d made videos of all the late nights and dirty brawls that go down in the office. (What, you thought we coexisted peacefully on the second floor with the Koala?) Trust me, if the Guardian had a YouTube channel … well, let’s just say LonelyGirl would be mad jealous of our pageviews. Why send cheesy holiday cards to your grandma when you can send a homemade music video? The Flip cam fits right in your hand, your pocket, even your stocking — now in high definition.
