TGIF? Not exactly, but it does give me a reason to 'Tout' a new video device

TGIF?

No one bothered to tell Andrea. The storm that is roaring up the East Coast is drenching us - and providing me with a chance to play around with a new video software we're using here at DelcoTimes.com.

The forecast says we're going to get 1-3 inches of rain today, and it is likely to linger into Saturday morning. So much for that celebratory beer with the Phillies game out on the deck tonight.

Our new video software is called Tout, and it allows us to shoot short video clips with out smart phones and push them immediately onto the Web via Twitter.

I've embedded one here.

As much as I like playing with all this new media, it won't make this day any better. We'll be keeping a close eye on Darby Creek, which usually roars over its banks every time someone spits in it.

As of 7 a.m., it was running pretty good, but still well inside its banks.

If you happen to see weather-related news out there, make sure you snap a shot of it and email it to editor@delcotimes.com. And if you want to do a Tout video, we'll take that as well.

It's all part of how we are expanding our community engagement. Last week I managed to get in a bit of hot water when I asked for reader-submitted pictures of a fatal crash. But remember, you can send us anything - prom shots, graduation pix. Consider us your No. 1 outlet for photos and video.
