Because sometimes I’m lazy, sometimes I’m not timely enough, and sometimes my ideas stink.
- Depends squirmy legs ad and Meta user Michael Strahan’s poo dance
- Reason for rejection: I used to see these two commercials a lot and wanted to riff on them, then they stopped airing them.
- Video games of yore (home)
- Reason for rejection: I actually mean to get around to this one. You can read the arcade version here.
- Reality TV shows I actually like
- Reason for rejection: There aren’t that many and it just didn’t seem that interesting. For the record, a few I enjoy are Forged in Fire and The Curse of Oak Island.
- Apple Watch revised review with pictures and stuff
- Reason for rejection: Lazy, waited too long. Who wants to read a review of a watch that is two generations behind? Not me!
- Google maps, now with melancholy
- Reason for rejection: I actually quite like this idea. I’d use Google Maps’ Street View to “visit” my hometown and lament the loss of old corner stores I went to as a kid and so on. I felt there wasn’t enough there to work with, but I may revisit this.
- Amusing photos from my phone camera
- Reason for rejection: It turns out I have very few amusing pictures on my phone
- Best and worst super powers
- Reason for rejection: This seems like such an obvious thing. Maybe too obvious. Every time I thought about it, I found my mind wandering on to other things. Kind of weird.
- Internet of Things comic: standing at the fridge saying “Open the fridge door, HAL.”
- Reason for rejection: Too much effort for a pretty lame joke
- Bad design: glossy keyboards
- Reason for rejection: Pretty think subject for a blog post, but for the record, glossy keyboard are bad because they reflect light back at you, and are fingerprint magnets
- Places I’ve lived
- Reason for rejection: After some thought, I didn’t find it interesting enough to pursue, but I was thinking too literally. I may come back to this someday, because I’ve lived in a few places that might be worth talking about.
