I found two shorter and more serious videos for Marche du Nain Rouge, history and revelry. Maybe next year.
Discarded video for Giving Tuesday
Dec. 3rd, 2024 09:46 pmI found this a little too boring for Giving Tuesday in Michigan 2024 even though I liked the preview image.
Rejected video for Harris-Walz rally post
Aug. 8th, 2024 11:59 pmI picked a video with a preview image I liked better and that wasn't obviously self-promotion for Harris, Walz, and Vance visit Michigan.
Gretchen Whitmer on the Late Show
Jul. 12th, 2024 01:47 pmThis was the next segment after the one I featured in Colbert, Meyers, and 'The Daily Show' take more closer looks at Project 2025. My wife and I watched it last night and enjoyed it.
I decided to write Detroit's population increases for first time since 1957 instead. Maybe next week, as I have it saved under ideas for future blogging.
Detroit is a fascinating American city! Although it's nicknamed Motor City, there is a lot more to Detroit than simply its industrial heritage. In this video I briefy cover Detroits history, population, skyline as well as a few things that make Detroit unique. Thanks for watching : Detroit Overview | An informative introduction to Detroit, Michigan.
Whining from Paczki Day post
Feb. 13th, 2024 09:23 amI whined in Fat Tuesday is Paczki Day in Michigan!
I wasn't so lucky with Fox 17 WXMI in Grand Rapids' How they're made: Sandy's Donuts celebrating Fat Tuesday with Paczki all day! I didn't find out it wouldn't embed until after I got the following screengrab.

Very pretty! Too bad I couldn't embed the video.

Nov. 28th, 2023 12:28 pmI wasn't feeling this, so I used a video from National Day Calendar instead in Small Business Saturday from the Small Business Administration, KDKA, and National Day Calendar.
Video for an abandoned air pollution post
Jun. 29th, 2023 06:55 pmI decided to post CBS Detroit reports 'Michigan could become a climate safe haven' instead of a post featuring the following video.
This is the worst air pollution I've seen in Detroit since I moved here.

I found one with a better preview image and description for Michigan celebrates the third Detroit-Style Pizza Day.
Unused video for MSU shooting post
Feb. 14th, 2023 11:59 pmI found another video with more focus for Mass shooting at Michigan State University on eve of fifth anniversary of Parkland shooting.
I rejected this video for Democrats are trying to rearrange the dates of their primaries and caucuses to make them more representative, a 'Groundhog Day' story because it was already out of date.
This video didn't fit the sourcing theme for MLive asks 'Michigan is a climate haven in a warming world. Will everyone move here?' It was also a touch too old.
Rejected video for Jocelyn Benson post
Jan. 7th, 2023 04:26 pmI cut the following video out of Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson among those awarded Presidential Citizens Medals on the second anniversary of January 6th in favor of a WDIV video with tighter focus on Benson and an ABC News video that showed everyone who earned the honor.
test of video in 'tripledemic' post
Nov. 30th, 2022 08:44 amI wanted to see if the following video would embed before using it in Michigan COVID-19 deaths pass 40,000, a pandemic update. It did.
