Flip Mino by Pure Digital Technologies

Since the ipod came out I have not seen such a neat and practical toy.  The Flip offers the versatility of a small pocket side video recorder.  I have tested it against my Nikon camera and it performs better.  It is not made to be a super recorder but what makes it so great is the simplistic design.  If you like minimalism than you will love this recorder.  It works off of flash memory so you avoid the issues you would have with moving parts.  I will be posting some videos here soon of my future trips using this device.  Later I will compare it to my canon HV-30 just for the sake of comparison.  

     The flip starts around $129 and the Flip Mino goes for about $149 on Amazon.  This is a must have for anyone interested in taking quick videos on the road.  In summary,  I think this is as cool as the ipod.  It is so easy to use and has a flip-out usb plug built into it.  Live and record your life. 

My next stop NYC again…. Perhaps I will be moving there soon after some min-retirements are complete?

This was the interview that was done last week with Anthony Robbins. In the years that I have studied and read Tony’s strategies I have noticed that he has key tools to use that are congruent with the current times. Furthermore, something that I think is worth mentioning is how when tough times arrive the optimistic seem to get more optimistic and the same pattern goes with the negative attitudes. Asking the right questions can stir the answers needed to take you out of a slump. For example, instead of saying “these gas prices suck, I better cut back from driving” …. you could say “what options are available to me to increase my monthly income?”

3 Key Factors

1. Search for opportunities in other areas.
2. Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want.
3. Find mentors and leaders you admire. Read what they did to make it to the top. There are patterns that give the same results over and over again. Get off the couch, turn off the sitcoms, and go pick up a book. There is gold in quality books.  

This is a quality interview that America needs to watch.

I had taken this picture about 2 weeks ago and meant to put a post on it.  Nothing too significant about this meal compared to the first post about salmon under great foods.  The main difference was that i substituted a boiled sweet potato for the brown rice.  Sweet potato is supposed to have significant health benefits as well as being high in fiber.  Just a reminder that you can still eat healthy and mix it up.  I will be posting some video content of Stan and I cooking some healthy meals.  Have a great night- Jose.
