This also happens a lot with code as well. I am sure each person here has at least a few abandoned software projects that they either couldn't finish, didn't want to finish, or at some point later regret not finishing. I would like to hear those stories, it would be interesting. One of mine is I built a web based blogging application in 2002/03 which was supposed to kick MovableType's ass. I had beta testers with great product feedback, but just simply got distracted with another project, thought blogging would never be that popular, and just abandoned it. I even let the domains expire (one of the hosting domains was bloguser.com). I wrote a lot of code for that project, including Javascript in the text editor so you could select and make text bold etc. The other was discovering the original IE 5.0 xmlhttprequest while working on a corporate intranet role (this was in 99-00 IIRC). I remember thinking 'this is awesome, literally every desktop app is going to be written as a web app, I should totally quit my job and setup a company to do web email, web word processor, etc. with fancy javascript'. I spent a lot of hobby time playing with it, writing prototype code, showing my old boss, etc. but then thought it wouldn't get far because it only worked on IE - and at the time most of the web community frowned on IE and I wanted to be one of the cool kids.
