Michael’s idea graveyard

Over the years there’s been a load of half-baked, silly ideas which I have worked on. Below is a selection of things which still exist in some way or another.

• Analogue spam

  An analogue homepage delivered digitally to encourage analogue interactions and real world delivery of the finest hand crafted junk mail.

• Facebook

  I made a book of my face over 10 years – a true face book. Great for coffee tables to show that you’re an idiot as well.

• Wax on, wax off

  Want to shave me? Well this is probably as close as you’re gonna get – it’s quicker and more satisfying than in real life (yes, I know that’s what she said).

• Pooch picker

  A foray into the power of a single prompt file – from idea to silly web app thingy in a couple of hours – fun, silly, and thanks to Claude, wholly unsatisfying to create.

• Gideon’s birthday

  For some reason Gideon sent me this picture when we were working on a novelty yfronts idea… he’s wearing the prototypes. No, I have no idea why he did this either.

• My life out of 10

  One of the first things I built myself after doing a web design course – annoyingly the API doesn’t work anymore to give you a score, let’s just call it 4.7/10.

• ToughGov

  This was an almost something that never really was… might have been nice though.

• Where’s Michael

  Another thing that wouldn’t exist without Claude’s help, an old idea executed to first prototype – I can update my location on my phone and you can find me on a map, maybe.
