I still can’t believe I made it an entire year with my picture-a-day experiment, Picalicious. You can read more about that here. Oddly enough, I’m pretty sad it’s over. But it’s okay because Dave is always thinking ahead. Not only did he buy me The Flip for Christmas,  he also surprised me with a new website…

Introducing VIDALICIO.US, a video a week for a year. OMG! I know!

So, if you liked Picalicious in all it’s fabulous photo and witty headline wonder – you’ll ADORE Vidalicious. Each week you’ll get to see THRILLING video such as my dog eating, my hubby painting, cookies baking and even me running down a hallway. And it’s not even January 1 yet!

Some details: I’ll be using The Flip for all of my videos, which are usually 10 – 25 seconds in length. I’ll post them to YouTube and then upload them to the site. At least one video a week, but I’m sure there will be more. Wish me luck! Not sure what the heck I’ll do for 2010; thankfully, I’ve Dave’s got a 365 days to figure that one out.

Oh! And it’s not a .com. It’s www.vidalicio.us.

I know, it’s very fancy. (Squeal!)

Holy cow! My wish was granted and I got The Flip for Christmas! Thanks, Dave! Of course, I captured the Christmas joy right away. I had one issue though – for the love of all things holy why the freak did this thing always want to launch and import into iPhoto?

(sigh) I mean come on.

On a PC, you just plug the device into your USB thing and it launches the Flip Share application, which allows easy start and stop editing and YouTube uploading. On a Mac, The Flip launches iPhoto. WTF? Worse, once it imports your Flip footage, it converts it to a file format that Flip Share doesn’t recognize. Quality.

I was freaking out and so hubby figured out how/where to turn this auto destruction launch function off. Sweet man.

Attention Mac-loving Flip-users, the preference setting for this is not where you think it is. Here’s how to stop your Flip from auto-launching iPhoto and cramping your style:

1. Plug in your Flip
2. From Applications, open Image Capture
3. Select Preferences, then change open “iPhoto” to open “No Application”

Like this:

Ah! Doesn’t that feel better? Now you can go on with your Flip-tastic self.  And if you found this by Googling it, congrats! All I found when I Googled this issue was some dude on Amazon.com saying you could stop it in iPhoto preferences. LIAR!
