Mythbusters had a season on Sci with new hosts. And Mythbusters Jr. was advertised as coming to Sci this winter with Adam mentoring the kid mythbusters.... so it's not completely dead.
Can you use it in reverse? It would work great for kids who are scared of the dark, every night they turn off one light and until after a year they can sleep with the light off!
I don't think even with all the lights on it gives off enough light for a kid who's scared of the dark. Also, even if it did the last light would be the hardest of them to turn off since it's the difference between having a light and not having one. But brilliant idea nonetheless.
I think it's really awesome that there's just ONE switch that isn't flipped, because the story is so crazy; "yeah, I had brain surgery" - it's so insanely impressive, that the year she had a brain tumor removed she only missed a single day. But I get what you're saying too - she has totally deserved the reward of a completed board :)
She didn't miss the day of the surgery, but the day after, and no, meditation is not about being sedated, but having stable atenttion and being in the present moment.
Simone: "It's like when you have a second child and stop loving your first child." *awkward laugh* Edit: Simone: "Making something for a prototype and making something for manufacturing, they're like distant cousins *pause* that don't talk." Is your family okay, Simone?
simone looks so proud when norman says he can't wait to see her calendar on people's walls. i'm so happy for her and all the progress she has made, truly a talent.
I feel like Simone weirds herself out by having made something that can be usefull. I am a sucker for mechanical buttons though, I want that click of the push button that lights up :) Or even go as far as having the button light up in the berinning of the day and when you did what you set out to do, you turn it back off. But that is just my two cents, this thing is cool Simone!
@@josuelservin2409 Sure, but a solder joint doesn't really experience wear as far as I know and a broken switch is much easier to replace than a broken light on a PCB. Plus' I can't make a backlit PCB in my garage :P ^^
@@NochSoEinKaddiFan, I'm talking at the level of a production scale, if you want to make only one it would be challenging and expensive but certainly manageable, and I bet the end result would be pretty awesome.
It would be cool if they came out with few iterations of it with different button or switch options. Maybe even eventually make them customizable with different colored light options, or different layout patterns for the array. I could see it even getting it's own smartphone app which could allow your to add notes to certain days, perhaps you missed one or if you had a particularly rewarding day, or maybe it would just let ya know when you've reached certain milestones. This could also allow it to be programmed to keep track of more than one daily task, a different color light for different tasks type of deal.
What I like about the old version is the lights at the top which I assume light up when you finish a month. It's kind of like a reward. You can strive for that gold star at the end of each month. Maybe in a future version the month names at the top could light up in the same fashion.
@@kobisjeruk Given that it uses such a large PCB and two at that, it wouldn't run very cheap because there are only limited places that make things that size and so they can charge a premium on how much it costs them to make them for her.
This looks awesome , I'd like to own one myself but i'm a little broke. though I think Simone should add a separate button that makes it shuffle through different goals with a different color. Specially for those with lot's of goals to accomplish and doesn't want a wall full of these although i think that would look cool. I'd like to own one myself i'm just a little broke.
Simone, I always KNEW you could do something beautiful that works... you just need to believe in yourself..... you really trully are an AMAZING creator!!!
I love it! I immediately latched on to the idea that a blank spot would be super-motivating. An idea for a version 2.0: additive color. If I want to track multiple things (go to the gym every other day, practice music every day), then each could be represented by a color, and the days where they overlap sums the colors. Could cycle through the colors with taps, then "lock in" the color with a long press. Then start tapping a lit button to cycle through additive colors, long press again to clear
Simone's awesome. Still making crazy amazing things, even if one is accidentally beautiful. I totally want one of those calendars, might encourage me to draw more.
Omg i love simone and i'm so proud of her and i'm officially gonna need one of those calender obviously!!! Simone you're gonna change the world, at least a little bit haha!
This is a really cool idea. Only issue I see, and it is a very small one, is that February only has 28 days. If this is intended to be a product that one can reset every year, then maybe adding some way to account for leap years would be useful. This is still not a deal breaker though. I would totally buy this as is.
Simone, it may be nice to make a companion iOS / Android app that can synch progress between the physical every day calendar and the app. And also maybe storing years as well and possibly having the year display on top. Also I don’t understand why you didn’t add February 29th to the calendar even though it’s only used once every 5 years.
If you have a n LCD screen at the top to display the year. And a button to show next year and button to display previous year. Also the memory will save data under each year.
Will you have a 12v option? Can you make a map like this to turn on a button in the city or state you have been to? 12 v please!!!! I live on a sailboat and that would be awesome for rv folks too.
Is there a reset button to turn off all the LEDs? And you should have a year at the top, but have it backlit with a capacitive pad either side that just scrolls it forward or back a year.
Very cool project. An obvious addition to version 3 would be the ability to have several "save slots" and a selector to choose which one to display. Would make the calendar more useful for keeping track of more sparse events, uses ranging anywhere from tracking a woman's cycle, or even just keeping track of days when it rained. Another idea is a multi color display, via rgb LEDs, for the back light. (the interface could be something like hold to fade through colors) With colors people could potentially use the calendar to schedule simple future events, or perhaps leave more detailed information about an event being tracked. Like if your meditation was particularly rewarding that day, or perhaps the opposite. Could help in finding patterns perhaps. And perhaps even causation, if combined with the first Idea, by switching to another slot to see if there is any overlap in patterns.
Watched it on your show was just wondering if you don't work at a day does it not light up or is it just one closed-circuit where it only lights up all the time thanks love what you do
I want, like, this but with a few other features. Putting this out there in case there's ever subsequent iterations of this project: I want RGB LEDs, so that every day the current date lights up red, past missed days light up green, and when you press a day to complete it it turns blue. (this is because I have illnesses that sometimes will definitely make me miss days and having missing lights would drive me crazy. I also lose track of the date super easily so if I miss a couple days it might be really hard for me to start using it again.) (Ideally I'd want even deeper, more complex color options so I could set up a somewhat detailed system of markings by color, and could edit the color scheme in a way that would retain the saved states of all the cells and change the colors to the new meaning they've been assigned.) Also: then it'll look like a classic sci fi space ship panel. I also want it to default so you can only edit the current date, with a dial n the side that allows you to adjust a number of days back that you can change. I would definitely, over the course of the year, accidentally touch buttons sometimes, and I would never feel confident that I was correcting them accurately. Also I definitely don't have the money even for the regular one of these. But #someday
This is so cool, maybe you could even give it a little computer that remembers the settings, so you can track multiple habits each day (so you'd press a button to go to the other trackers, maybe they'd light up in a different colour or something)
I think I need this for my workouts. But then again it would be far easier to reach OCD perfection by just skipping those two days a year that I actually manage to work out.
Simone! Good to see you back. You look great. Love the look of the project. Have you thought of incorporating different color changing LEDs so that you can use colors to represent different tasks, goals, and achievements by color coding them? That way you could have more than one goal per day "color-coded" and even rate yourself on your own level of achievement. The possibilities are as limitless as the spectrum of colors you can get from RGB LEDs.
@@qwerty1998ish, True. As well as more programming. But, it would increase the functionality immensely and you could do so much more with it, increasing its value. Highlight important dates, display the weeks of each month, Set silent visual alarms that flash or dim in and out. You could see your entire year at a glance. And it's an art piece.
So can you switch all of the lights off in one button touch or to start again from Jan 1st do you spend hours on the 31st of December pushing and holding each button to switch them off? I suppose you could just switch them off to keep track for the following year
Have you thought about a second iteration using a series of AA batteries rather than a cord hanging down the wall, or would the combined voltage of all those lit LEDS towards the end of the year pull too much power. Love the idea, still highly likely i will buy one on the Kickstarter.
Very nice, Simone. Before you put it out in the marketplace, you need to add a Leap Day to February. and here's a free suggestion: use Tri-colored LEDs that toggle through r-b-g with each touch.
Since leap days are meant to be cheat days, how about including a clock so that on 12:01am February 29, the leap day lights up and stays on until 12:01 January 1 and is unresponsive to touch?
Is there a button to do a full reset on the calendar (I would hope)? If not, there would be a long, sad day at the end of the year turning off all of the buttons, watching all your progress disappear...
Love it - i'm a Master Procrastinator, and i don't get anything done if i don't have a checklist - for version 2.0 you should have an app that can connect to it, maybe with different tasks ... ideas are endless.
This makes me wish Mythbusters was still going, Simone would have been a tremendous addition to the team.
Mythbusters had a season on Sci with new hosts. And Mythbusters Jr. was advertised as coming to Sci this winter with Adam mentoring the kid mythbusters.... so it's not completely dead.
@@JeremyStreich Just as with Top Gear (the original good one) it's just not the same after the originals are gone.
Simone has collaborated with Adam Savage

that's a good idea
I didn't think about that but that's a really innovative idea!
well u would just have to turn all the lights on 1 by 1 at first then ya can turn them off 1 by 1
I don't think even with all the lights on it gives off enough light for a kid who's scared of the dark. Also, even if it did the last light would be the hardest of them to turn off since it's the difference between having a light and not having one. But brilliant idea nonetheless.
She turns one off with a long touch so I don't see why not. Just turn them all on at the beginning of the year.
Tested needs more Simone. Awesome calendar from an awesome person.
I think the brain surgery day totally counts. Being sedated is a meditative state, right? Flip that June 1 switch!
on her channel she said it wasn't actually the day of the surgery that she missed, which is pretty damn impressive
Hola
@Joe Briggs Jr she missed the day after

If we used that Simone's would also be rectangular without the irregularity at the bottom.
Amen
Well if it gets Jesuses approval
We're you on PewDiePie's video today?
There's space for both. I do like me some human era calendar.

Hi
norm has a kid and so he tried to present another reason for why simone shouldn't love the first board :)
That needs to be integrated into one of those refrigerator screens. (c)
She just has that kind of dark humor, it's adorable.
This simone guy is not okay!
Simone is the BEST! Her energy and humor is soooo refreshing to see on Tested! Her calendar is excellent, and I hope she shows up in more videos.
Her personality is so endearing! I feel better knowing that someone liker her is out there in the world.
Who's back here after watching Adam Savages review of Simone's Every day Calendar ?
Yeah me 😁
I didnt realize she made this a year ago
simone looks so proud when norman says he can't wait to see her calendar on people's walls. i'm so happy for her and all the progress she has made, truly a talent.
I feel like Simone weirds herself out by having made something that can be usefull.
I am a sucker for mechanical buttons though, I want that click of the push button that lights up :)
Or even go as far as having the button light up in the berinning of the day and when you did what you set out to do, you turn it back off. But that is just my two cents, this thing is cool Simone!
The problem with the light up buttons is that you have 365 buttons and with four contacts per button that's 1460 points of failure at least...

Pretty cool. If this was like $50 i'd maybe consider it, but $300 is way out of my price range. Still, cool product.
Wait for the chinese knock-off version. Which wouldnt be more than $30 at most.
Just buy a calendar and cross off the days
@@kobisjeruk Given that it uses such a large PCB and two at that, it wouldn't run very cheap because there are only limited places that make things that size and so they can charge a premium on how much it costs them to make them for her.
Not a problem. Just buy it and mark off every day that you save a dollar. You'll have recovered the cost in less than a year! ;)

Okay, that would be a wonderful idea, maybe I'll give it a shot.
Trying to meditate every day and ending up starting a company is probably the most Simone thing ever
I wish I had an Everyday Calendar, so I can track days while I'm waiting for my Everyday Calendar to arrive
Simone, you can add a little addition as control option in front or somewhere to switch between different/multiple project tracking.
If I wasn't a student I would buy this. Hopefully it does well and continues to be sold when I make money

That way you could have more than one goal per day "color-coded" and even rate yourself on your own level of achievement.
