Inoffensive Expletives (.com)
So I thought this morning it would be a fun and successful website to start a Wordpress-driven blog along the lines of listing inoffensive and unoffensive expletives and interjections. By that I mean people would google onto, and check daily or RSS any site that is just a big growing list of fun words to say when someone steps on your toes–and of course I’m filtering that down to words that don’t have traditional swear words in them. Day one’s post could be “thump!” with a short essay about where the submitter has seen it used and in what context. I think people would google onto such a site all day long, RSS feed it and send it to their friends if they’re the type of people who use such words or would like to, teach their kids to say them when they want to swear, and eventually name bands after some.
Thump!
“Based on the Caldecott Award winning kids’ book, the new qubo series My Friend Rabbit chronicles the wide-eyed adventures of Rabbit, his best friend Mouse, and a group of other colorful characters from across the animal kingdom. As Mouse says, Rabbit means well…but somehow just can’t avoid getting into sticky situations! But if they work together, they can solve each dilemma with ingenuity, creativity and, most of all, friendship.” This show plays on Saturday mornings on qubo and on ION during the week, and the main character, the loving Rabbit, screams “Thump!” whenever he has a good idea or other cause for interjection.
Anyone like this idea, or have any suggested words? Fetch!, fiddlesticks!, shazaam!, zargles!, …?

#9: FilmClean
My goal this week was to put up a site that was inherently retail based. My businesses up until now have been selling my information or services, and while it is easy to see how those fill a niche, they aren’t as scalable as they’ll eventually need to be to maintain a business a week. My ideal is still to have something strangers build and develop, supplementing products syndicated from Amazon or Doba or somewhere, and that still supplemented by ads. And once I get that skeleton down I can duplicate it multiple times. For now I spent a few hours today putting up a raw affiliate site, FilmClean.com. It’s not pretty in any way yet (and I need to start making these sites beautiful before I release them), but nonetheless it’s a site where you can click a product which I love and the world needs more of, and it’ll take you to a place where you can buy one, and I gets a cut. So I’ve added value to the world and the world has added value to me. But I’ve gotta’ add some content before Google will bring me customers.
