Discarded video for Summer Solstice post
Jun. 20th, 2024 10:16 amI used another video for PBS Terra asks 'Can Green Energy Make The Grid SAFER?' I thought something more global and evergreen would get more page views than this video, which was more local and time-specific. I may have been wrong.
Abandoned video for Vernal Equinox post
Mar. 20th, 2023 08:35 amRejected video for Nowruz post
Mar. 21st, 2022 09:49 amI decided against using this video in Happy International Day of Nowruz 1401 (2022) and happy 11th birthday to Crazy Eddie's Motie News because I thought it was too much talking heads and not enough location footage, despite the preview image.
Rejected video for 2021 weather post
Dec. 30th, 2021 01:51 pmI cut this video from 2021 in climate and weather from ABC News, NBC News, and WeatherNation because NBC News did a good enough job describing this year's hurricane season in its video.
Happy solstice!
Dec. 21st, 2021 01:49 pmHappy Winter Solstice to my readers! After correcting my students' final exams and entering grades over the weekend, which I finished doing last night, I'm in no mood to give a science lesson. Instead, I posted A joke and a song for Winter Solstice and Yule 2021. Enjoy Fozzie Bear of the Muppets and the Harp Twins!
After writing Lawmakers introducing and passing bills to stop changing clocks as Daylight Saving Time begins, I decided I needed to listen to some music. This is what I wanted to hear.
Rejected video for Autumnal Equinox post
Sep. 23rd, 2020 12:02 pmI rejected the following video for yesterday's CBS News covers National Voter Registration Day 2020, which falls on the Autumnal Equinox this year because I checked and found out that I had already used it for the 2016 Vernal Equinox post. I don't like recycling that much!
Rejected video for Summer Solstice post
Jun. 21st, 2020 02:36 pmI rejected the following video for Celebrate national days for American eagles and seashells on Summer Solstice 2020 because I found a more recent one with a Michigan perspective.
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, it's almost time for the summer solstice, the longest day of the year! But if all days have 24 hours, what does the 'longest day of the year' really mean? Join Jessi and Squeaks to find out!
