Hi Chip,

I have a question that is more like a request/suggestion/idea for you and the Web Team.

Sometimes, you shoot a "tease" with where you will be flying to review construction progress/road closure updates around the Metroplex for the next morning's show.  For example, one time you teased the Wycliff Plaza construction, and I was waiting for you to show the lanes the next morning.  However, Breaking News happened, and I don't believe you were ever able to show it because of the priority of the coverage, which is perfectly understandable.

My suggestion is this:  When something like that happens, or even if you are able to show it but it may not be in the hour that we are watching (because we have to leave to get out in the traffic, as was the case with me that morning), is it possible to have an archived page on the site where we can see the video?  On a morning when Breaking News takes precedence, you could shoot the construction video and narration later and post it on the site.

You could call it something like "Chip's Road Construction Video" or "Chip's Road Update Video".

Please let me know if this would be possible.

That's a great idea! Actually I'm working with the "powers that be" to have a weekly video here on the blog to address that exact observation. I was thinking of calling it "What's that?" as I put a video up of a road project on a Monday and then have people guess which project it is. I would then have the actual update attached on Wednesday or Thursday of that week. What do you think?

That sounds great - give a hint on what the project is during the Monday video, then reveal it on the update later in the week. This would spark a friendly competition between folks in the Blogosphere as well.

I'm glad that you and the staff were thinking about the same thing.

The title "What's That?" is cool. Or "Where's Chip?"

Where's Chip might be better. Kinda like where's Waldo?
