yay!! i succeed ... wait! what? .. in getting rejected :-) [RT-1]

i just heard about this - Rejection Therapy .. and i wanted to try it out myself :-) 

during my morning run today - i came across this commercial vehicle - with which this guy was improving the running track in nearby public school .. and i asked him if i can drive it? of course, i succeeded in getting outright 'rejection' .. then i tried to convince him to at least allow me to take my picture on the 'steering' wheel .. and yet he did not budge .. i guess, he might have - but his friend (or boss?) chatting with him was more reluctant (or following their process/rules - good thing, in a way)

finally - i could at least get my 'selfie' with them .. 


where is me? - well .., edited and not visible :-)

idea

colorful classics ?

there is a large pool of classic literature now available in public domain - thanks to Project Gutenberg .. has anyone tried to bring out the hidden 'colors' within such text? analyzing the string for presence of six digit 'valid' hex codes - and applying the 'style' of background color to that 'chunk' of text might make it interesting rendering ... should be not very tricky/difficult ... might try some day ..

UPDATE:
------------
some quick & easy JavaScript test showed there isn't much 'color' in classics :( ... at least the one i used as first sample 'Alice in Wonderland' from https://www.gutenberg.org/files/11/11-h/11-h.htm#link2HCH0001 had NOT a single hex-color pattern (assuming my logic & implementation is correct) in first 4 chapters ... the 5th chapter however showed first occurrence that too in the word 'succeeded' (what a coincidence!) .. this also reminds me of another thought/story i get inspired (another blog on mining 'gold' and getting 'dirt' and so on ..?)
