Cancelling projects before you start them

A couple weeks ago I had what I thought was a brilliant, original idea for a new podcast that I could do where I would do play-by-play commentary on poker games, including pro matches on TV, and pro / high-stakes internet games, and perhaps eventually live games as well, although that may be more difficult because I wouldn’t want to do it while I was playing, but I could take notes and then start recording if I bust out early and go back and record the beginning (based on notes) later.

Anyway, before I actually did anything on this I decided to search around and make sure that no one else had snatched up my brilliant idea before I got to it, and sadly found that they did. I haven’t listened to any of them yet, and I think they are all internet-only coverage of the actual person playing, but still, I don’t know if I want to do it anymore now that I know it’s not unique. Who knows, maybe I’ll listen to them and they’ll stink, and then I might still consider doing it.

Oh well, I guess that I have plenty of other stuff to keep me busy without starting yet another new thing, so for now I probably won’t do it. Maybe someday we’ll get around to doing another episode of our Tythyl podcast.
