KXLL the MOUSE Challenge - Day 107
Office transformed into a lab - see before and after. Also, a new social media plan was born. Third, we got through to the 2nd round of an accelerator today!
Getting ready for a free HAWK contest too. Tell your friends 🧡
I can't sleep... I keep thinking of things to 3D print, then remembered those pull tab "mechanical pop-up" books from when I was a kid...
Anyone else remember those?
Might be time to adapt some of those old paper tricks into 3D printed ones.
KXLL the MOUSE Challenge - Day 106
Still going at 2:38am, rearranging the office around the new @BambulabGlobal X2D printer - it's now sitting on the 30-year-old wooden desk I found on the street corner today.
Went to UNL for the $15k @KeyenceUSA scanner for one of the last HAWK scans I'll do for a long time (I'm happy to say.)
My confidence has returned since the HAWK performance tests. I know I still have to climb marketing mountain, but I'll do it with renewed vigor.
I revisited my business plan and media plan. I'm going to do some AI training, though will probably quit soon, just to focus on fund raising. (The most successful people don't work for money, they ask for it.)
Expect some absolutely zany media soon.
KXLL the MOUSE Challenge - Day 105
Demo today! Lackluster results, but HAWK still outperformed a standard mouse, even if insignificantly.
Buttons are in the wrong place, and the wires were tugged a bit too tight and shorted it out. Pissed me off, but...
The button upgrade will provide an additional performance boost.
100+ years ago, there was a historic art contest in France where the judges were arguing 🇫🇷 🔥
"Every art MUST be accepted," one judge demanded. Let's call him Pierre.
"But what do you mean, by 'every', and 'art'?!" Another replied. We'll call him Marcel.
They argued back-and-forth until Marcel gave in; they decided to let "every type of art" into the contest, but Marcel had a big surprise...
On the day of the contest, there was a "unique sculpture" waiting for judge Pierre. One of the Parisian artists had entered a signed, horizontal urinal, into the contest. We will call her Reese M.
Pierre was flabbergasted and demanded that the urinal be removed immediately, but Marcel stepped in, wagging his finger, to remind him of his own rule.
That's how abstract expressionism happened in the early 1900s, andthis is a true story with some fabricated details 😉
The point = what is art?
100 years ago we asked ourselves what art was and decided it could be anything.
I was taught that art is a language, and that still rings true to me today. But I only recently realized how important the eye of the beholder is, in imbuing art with meaning and soul.
The artist can mean one thing or try not to mean anything, but then a viewer comes along and finds some their own meaning. They will react - positively or negatively doesn't matter, and that "energy" goes into the artwork. That energy makes it art, imbues the soul and meaning.
If you make a painting, but never look at it, and never show it to anyone, does the painting really exist?
Art's meaning is created by our collective attention, our reactions are the ingredients of the art's soul. Good artwork demands reactions.
So, when you look around these days and you're trying to decide if something is art, or even worth your attention at all, or not...
Just pay attention to your reaction, or its absence.
HAWK Initial Report Card:
Build Quality: C
Ergonomics: B-
Accuracy: A
We cleared 5ps, with a 'quick and dirty' build that direly needs design optimization.
When ergonomics and quality hit A grade, it's game over for the old mouse.
Fitts' law testing apps are SOOOO boring - I get that science needs to "be clean" in order to reduce variables and get significant results, but... yeesh. Dry as a post-marathon Saltine.
Looks like I'll need to make a simple game?
Any suggestions?
WTF am I doing?
Help? LOL
[Q] How is mouse performance measured?
[A] b/sec ⬇️
The standardized method to quantify a mouse's performance, according to ISO 9241-9, is a Fitts’ Law pointing task. It combines speed + accuracy into a single value:
Bits per second (bps)
How many bps do you get from your
