Flip Video and Macs
We just got a Flip HD and would like to get organized with my videos before we get into bad habits of just loading them up without any structure. What do you use to organize and edit your videos on the Mac?

ArsTechnica’s Jon Stokes on the unfortunate demise of Palm:
I’ve only met one Pre owner in-person who hasn’t sent at least one phone back, but I’ve met many people who have sent multiple Pres back. When you pull out your Pre somewhere and another Pre user spots it, the odds are close to certain (in my experience) that that person has sent at least one unit back because of some kind of issue. Every single reviewer that I know of sent at least one Pre back in the beginning.
Sadly, this is only one of several reasons for the demise that Jon mentions. I’ve been rooting for Pre to become a formidable iPhone competitor since the announcement in January 2009, and it’s clear those days are over.
I’m on my 3rd Palm Pre (1 stopped working, 1 stolen), so I completely agree with this statement, but I just want to add that I really like my Palm Pre. Every version update has made the phone better, and I really like the way it works. I’d still rather have an iPhone, but I like it better than my wife’s Blackberry and better than the older version Android phones I’ve used (the new Android software is far superior, but older phones haven’t been upgraded). Of course I have my complaints, but I’d still highly recommend the Palm Pre if you are on Sprint, and want to get a Smartphone with data.
The MLB At Bat app has been around for a while, but I just decided to drop the $15 for it this morning. I love listening to baseball on the radio, but I don’t have an AM radio in the house, so having an app for my iPod Touch is going to be great. Of course it would be better if I had an iPhone, but I’m at home or work most of the time anyway, so I don’t mind using the wi-fi connection to listen. The app features live audio, mlb gameday, and video highlights.
Highly recommended if you don’t already have the app.
Chase Turner, a 26-year-old media analyst in Minneapolis, said he had been bombarded with messages about Haiti “across all the social networking sites I am on.” He donated via text message after hearing about the Red Cross campaign on Twitter.
Being able to post a message about contributing helps reinforce the trend, Mr. Turner said. “It’s really nice to be able to say and show that you’ve done something,” he said. Philanthropy experts say the text-messaging approach could have a lasting impact on the charity world.
“This may be a new way for people to give and give robustly,” Mr. Taylor said. “If it continues after the disaster, then maybe we’ve discovered a new habit for giving to charities.”
