Half-baking

For this gournal, I thought I would write up some un-implemented ideas that I come up with from time to time.

I feel like I get a lot of ideas. Most of them are pretty useless, but they still bounce around in my head for a while before my brain moves on to something else. Sometimes I take some time to work on them, but even if I start to turn an idea into a project, I rarely seem to finish it. As soon as implementation becomes difficult, I usually lose interest.

So for now, I thought I would write up some of these ideas as I'm thinking about them. Once I run out of steam, I'll post a file with whatever notes I have. Maybe I'll revisit some of these eventually. I suspect I can post three or four of these a year. I look forward to seeing what happens.
