Flip Video

Squarely targeted for the YouTube generation, Flip Video is the first camcorder designed to seamlessly upload directly to online video sharing sites. Because the Internet video sharing software is integrated into the device, you can share video as easily as you share digital photos. You can also use it to edit your clips, make custom movie mixes, add your own music, capture still photos from video and design video greeting cards — you can even bring it to a local photo lab for one-hour DVD processing. $119.99 for 30 minutes; $149.99 for 60 minutes. http://www.theflip.com

DocuPen RC800
The latest in handheld document scanning technology, DocuPen RC800 lets you scan hundreds of pages in literally no time. Just choose your mode — black and white, standard color or high 24-bit color — and a resolution from 100 to 400 dpi, and start scanning your letters, color documents and photos into the included Paperport software for download through the USB port on your computer. Unlike other scanners that only scan single lines of text, the DocuPen’s width means it can scan an entire page at once, including text and graphics, in as little as four seconds. And, at just two ounces and 8 inches long, it’s as compact as it is capable. $299.99. http://www.planon.com

It comes with a credit-card-sized remote control, A/V input adapter for video capture from a camcorder or VCR, and user-friendly installation software. What will they think of next? $119. http://www.ati.amd.com

Sail on an Eco-Expedition Into the Wilds of the Amazon Rainforest

The Salil Hotel Riverside Review

There are luxury hotels throughout Bangkok that deftly combine minimalist style, decorative accents, historic Thai iconography and luxuriant amenities. While Salil Hotel Riverside Bangkok, opened in late 2023, falls into the 5-star boutique hotel category, it is, by design, not a run-of-the-mill luxury property. The lobby makes an immediate impression, while different public spaces, rooms and suites immerse one into an ambiance rooted in Thai history, all while capturing a Bangkok that is a touch irreverent and forward-looking.
