it was told to me 15 years ago that you leave the cabinets with cookies and such wide open, but the “bad” cabinets have the locks on them. it only made sense that the kids thought ALL the cabinets that had those little clips on them had goodies inside.

my kids learned very quickly that the open cabinets were “good” and the locked ones were bad.

they were a little fatter like that, but never were interested in the comet or draino.

Once again, I’m going to blame the baby. He’s frantically trying to outwit the child-proofing on the cabinets, so he can get to the cookie cache.

And BTW, since the focus of Cory’s post was on user-submitted vide; I thought that I’d mention, now that I’ve read the guidelines, I especially like the way that you’ll take someone’s stuff from a hardcopy and translate it into flash. I don’t know how many things you get that way, but the effor is certainly commendable.

Also, I thought that I’d say how much I appreciate your in-house stuff done with Pilot reporters. For instance, though I had read some about the decommissioning of the Kennedy, the video cut beneath the report with Jack Dorsey presented the story in a whole new perspective.

Kudos

I can’t say that I’ve spent a lot of time there, but I do occasionally click from the newspaper’s mainpage, watch one or two of their in-house things and then I watch a user-submitted clip or two to get a feel for their progression.

IMO, it appears functional and maybe if I lived in their market, I’d consider making it a regular channel. And, perhaps by adding the auto-play highlight show to the front, they can successfully entice people to stick around… But hey, any way you look at it, you’ve got to give them credit for trying and for doing it in such bold terms.

Oh, and I’ll probably watch a “How we Met” when it’s available. I’m a sucker for sap.
