I just want to say, I really like the name 'Everyday Calendar'. While it's true that every calendar shows every single day, most calendars are split by month and you don't actually see every single day. Shifting the focus from months split into weeks into each individual day helps with the step-by-step process of routine, and 'Everyday Calendar' encapsulates that beautifully.
Scandinavia have a proud history of successful unions - but then again unions would work the same if all workers wanted fair compensation for all the other workers instead of themselves.
@@theespatier4456 ...I was more talking about how I, as a scandinavian, hate asking for money. I don't ask for money from my parents because I get student loans and tuition is free, so if I blow through that money it is because I fucked up and failed at being independent (something that I feel is valued in society) Also I am lucky enough to have the privilege to not have to ask for money. #middleclassnorwegian
@@stoffni You know, it's all relative. Outlawing begging on one side, and having a generous welfare system on the other side is pretty much black and white. It's not extreme compared to US, so you're right in some sense.
*Next version you should add a speaker that makes bubble wrap popping sound when you press something! You don't even need to have the dates on it, just digital bubble wrap! I'll sell you this idea for a check for $10,000 made of macaroni!*
The everyday calendar is the perfect name. The everyday part isn't about having all of the days, it's about doing whatever you're doing everyday. Don't change it 🙂
It is yeah, but it's nice to keep track of the days like that. I don't like writing notes like appointments on paper calendars anyway, prefer to keep reminders on my phone.
Well, You could always buy a Gold Star sticker sheet and put a Gold Star on there that day when there's a leap year. It'd be the Calendars special day as it's the only one with a Gold Star. Of course it would be pealed off at the beginning of the next year. :)
The fact that this calendar has NO way of keeping a record is just baffling. Why would you make this? For the question at hand: You could just put a counter into the electronics so whenever you get to 2020 you can light up the 29th. I doubt you’ll keep it longer than that but to each his own. Or you could use the interwebs (January 1st) and send a time request to any NTP server to get the year. When thinking about that you could also put some calendar client software on there and have it light up dates you’ve marked in your calendar. TBH it would be ALOT simpler to just run the whole thing off a raspberry pi with WiFi and have it scoop all your caldav and outlook data along with a voice assistant that notes stuff in your calendar. My gods.. so many wasted possibilities.
Is there ever going to be a restock of the everyday calendar? I finally have a job to be able to buy stuff like this and I would love to use it for my pills
If you are able to use the gDoc format, docs, sheets, etc., it's great, but as soon as you need to use something else, as I'm sure you would for board designs, code, forms, etc, it becomes a pain in the butt. Love Google Docs, but yeah some things its just not great at.
Because Dropbox is not banned in China. Google drive can’t be accessed without a VPN. If they were using Dropbox to keep their Chinese contacts up to date with the latest design drawings having a non VPN option is pretty important. Since the government can make VPN access difficult during politically sensitive events such as elections.
Simone, you've run into the "80, 80 rule of project management." That is, the first 80% of the project takes 80% of the time, and the last 20% of the project takes the other 80% of the time. Except that's overly optimistic.
You could just say the 80-20 rule: 80% of the project takes 20% of the time, the rest is vice versa, with the side-note you thought the first 80% would take 80% of the total time. That would be a more realistic approach. ;)
@@SandiskCruzer, the point of the 80, 80 rule is that no one can guess all the unknowns correctly. Plus pressure from management to reject the "realistic" schedule because it shows the project taking too long, and therefore they want a shorter schedule. The result is that _everything_ takes twice as long as you thought... if you're lucky. Typically the employees end up working massive amounts of overtime to hit the release date (engineers and managers are usually salaried, so 40 hours or 80, they get paid a flat rate per week). If you're unlucky then you end up trapped in a "death march project" (there's even a book by that name).
Do not send anything back - to China. I have done product development for years. It’s not worth it. It’s the problem with off shore production, But I have several ideas for solutions. If you have not figured out shipping I could help you figure out green solutions that the shipping monkeys can’t destroy and the earth will be happy too.

I have to admit that before seeing this video, I didn’t know who Simone was. After seeing this video and a few others that came up on me feed afterwards I can only say that I am am quite impressed with this young lady. She’s younger than all my children, hence then young lady. I saw the brain tumor videos and saw the strongest, bravest, and most optimistic person that was able to show her true feelings of how she was dealing the whole ordeal (for lack of a better term). What a great role model! Keep up the great work with your projects and your health!
As a product development engineer, I feel the "you think you're three weeks away, but then remember that's how you felt 5 months ago" sentiment. It can be so soul-crushing and frustrating at times but the first time you hold that thing you made in your hands
I didn't have a resolution until seeing this. I will join you, but also give you a hand. I am now, also, going to be more mysterious. I am not going to say I am being mysterious, I am going to say stuff like "I have made some kind of important commitments for the new year, but I am not at liberty to discuss any of it at this time." You can add an apology if you feel you need to, I, however, do not feel that need. If you just can't have this resolution without telling everyone, then when you do tell everyone, you have to laugh and act like youre faking. Then it is still kinda mysterious.
Simone.... you're just.... such a gem. Skin human here, just waiting for my everyday calendar to arrive. Wait! I moved since backing the campaign! How do I update my shipping address?
@@MasterTypoDemon I think more people would complain about that 1 day not being lit up for 3 years. Including myself. Your eye would always been drawn to it. It would make it look incomplete. (IMO)
Simone... I SO LOVE that necklace! Well done on the campaign, the Calendar... and being the fabulous YOU that you are! Virtual High Five and Ghost Hug :-)
Simone you’re not wrong! Some people strategically set their goal low so they for sure surpass it. At the same time, some people do Kickstarters multiple times because they’re also good advertising for their product. Another technique is already having donors who you know are going to make large investments and having them wait to give through your Kickstarter so it builds your page’s momentum like woah look how much that project is growing and so fast but really the money was already secured.
There could be little round translucent colored discs (think the repositionable window decorations) that could go on the underside of the glass to tint given days like birthdays, anniversaries, vacations, etc. They could be moved or changed as desired. I'd definitely put them underneath rather than on top - but that would require removing the glass,which probably isn't recommended...
@@BarqueCat2 Or just a double click to change the LED color, leds are so cheap it shouldnt be much of a problem to at least have two color leds for each square and with that you could combine it to a ton of different variations. Also if you are worried that it wont look good, just make it so that normal is 100% yellow while birthday is 80% yellow 20% red..
Oh my! I hadn't considered it before, but what do people with Feb 29th birthdays do since they don't have a birthday day but every four years? Do you pick a day on either side? Tell people you're four times younger than you are because it's a technicality? Such a conundrum!
@@GrinningGrey I celebrate on February 28th, and no, a short year is still a year. Queue all the other silly questions I get asked upon meeting everyone...
@@MatthiasTTV reason was unknown variables for small batch manufacturing, if the thing goes viral then yeah i could see it drop to 100$. would you rather have projects be more reasonable priced and fail to deliver to all backers because the manufacturing price they estimated was lower than what they had to pay?
No one I've asked likes or uses Dropbox for anything other than low key personal use. I have used the Microsoft environment with a range of abilities, Sharepoint, OneDrive, Teams are awesome.

What makes Simone great.... the Dino necklace. Worlds of creativity and a plethora of charming personality traits. Ever wonder what the world would be like if each person had even half of the drive and skill she has? Imagine that.
1st, congrats- you looked so excited, emotional and proud, and you should be. Second, I would just like to comment about how powerful checking off each day can be- especially when wanting to achieve that day's goal(s). I have this thing where, when I want to overcome or accomplish something that is impossible to do, I check off a daily "victory" over it- one day at a time, and it helps empower me as I see the daily victories pile up. It helped me overcome the most impossible thing for me to do- quit smoking, for example. I would see the victories mounting day by day, and if I slipped and messed up- it all got erased and I had to start over. This added value to how important each day really was. You can have a victory using yesterdays win- you have to win the day-TODAY. THIS is something I would buy and use the same way. The "Just For Today" or "Win the Day" calendar. The price would have to be fair, of course, but I am sure it would be. Again, congrats!!
i tried a crowdfunding thing awhile back and it was a horrendous embarrassment (long story, rushed, not prepared, ect.) but this gives me hope that my other idea I'd like to bring to market might stand a chance at success. You put into words so many things I felt, like asking for help. I myself am usually the one helping, not needing or getting help. So to ask for stuff like that almost comes with a level of guilt. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Gives some of us hope and thank you.
Version 2.0 suggestions: - Feb 29 - RGB leds for multi functions (weekends, holidays, etc) - sync with and app so it can upload the holidays and other dates and also sync a clock so that it can automatically change the day - Add an option to use batteries(and charge them) so that you are not bound to a wall-plug
I like “Everyday Calendar”. It sounds interactive. Yes all calendars are everyday, but this one you actually look at and touch EVERYDAY. It seems to capture the essence of the calendar quite well.
Also, those small nicks and blemishes make them unique. If it’s too big or causes issues with the function or visual aesthetic then it should be fixed. But, the cool thing about the wood is that a small ding, tear out, or scratch will make it look cooler and like one of a kind. It’s such a great idea for a calendar!!
Version With Extra Interaction: The calendar has a random day that will give you an electric shock. The day changes each time you re-set the year. Not a fatal shock, obviously, just enough to send you to hospital with a 3rd degree finger burn, providing you with a good story to tell your friends as you laugh about it later on... 👍😎
A 1/7 chance to get a minor shock, a 1/7 chance to get chocolate candy. Get some excitement in your daily grind. Unless you are chocoholic, in which case you are guaranteed about 52 electroshocks a day. Lets just call it a therapy device then.
Don't feel guilty Simone, you are entertaining us whether its about your calendar or your TruckLA or even a simple update on one of your many inventions. We love to see you, you seem to be a very interesting person.
My favourite distance shrinking help tools /systems right now is Miro (a sharing workspace and former Realtime board) and Zoom (a video conference tool that works (2019...)). When you have colleagues or teams elsewhere. Nice callendar! You are awesom-o!
It needs to be multi layered.....able to mark off multiple tasks per day....grandma walked, mom did her exercise, dad read the word, son did his extra studies, daughter in law did her yoga.....5 things would be enough for now! Maybe concentric rings of different colors....please get right on that....hahaha! it looks awesome and so do you , congradulations on a job well done...such a bright idea!

I am not going to say I am being mysterious, I am going to say stuff like "I have made some kind of important commitments for the new year, but I am not at liberty to discuss any of it at this time." You can add an apology if you feel you need to, I, however, do not feel that need. If you just can't have this resolution without telling everyone, then when you do tell everyone, you have to laugh and act like youre faking. Then it is still kinda mysterious.
Your ted talk is literally on my school curriculum to teach us about creativity! I was mentally screaming when my teacher put it on!
I was just looking at that necklace the entire time, I love it!
Me too! Looks like a walking bird. Without a head.
I know right? Awesome necklace.
Well done you should be so proud it's a fantastic product I would love one x great job xx
I like to think that there's an easter egg or two built in if you press a specific sequence of numbers. :-)
Don't feel guilty. I love your videos. :) You're one of the most "real" youtube personalities I know of.
I like the idea of getting one day off from meditating every forth year.
You don’t know what a business body is? It’s the body of a mantis shrimp!
Simone.... you're just.... such a gem. Skin human here, just waiting for my everyday calendar to arrive.
Wait! I moved since backing the campaign! How do I update my shipping address?
Can you update this comment if you do get to change your shipping address
"Everyday Calendar" is perfectly fine for the name. There's nothing wrong with it. At all.=)
Is it really an "everyday" calendar if it doesn't include Feb 29th? That makes it seem like it's an everyday calendar 3 out of every 4 years.
You should call it the Almost Everyday Calendar.
@@MasterTypoDemon I think more people would complain about that 1 day not being lit up for 3 years. Including myself. Your eye would always been drawn to it. It would make it look incomplete. (IMO)
@@MarcoNoPolo You could've lit it up with the 28th in those 3 years... for your OCD :)
@@MarcoNoPolo there should be a removable black hexagon at the bottom of february which you can remove to insert the 29th button every 4 years
It is heartwarming to see how people reward someone who is transparent, sweet and sincere.
2:51 my "A-ha!" moment when I finally realized what her necklace was and felt extremely stupid for not realizing something so obvious earlier.
_opens Toucheroni Calendar and a bunch of sand comes out_
What the...beach?
Yeah, the calendar... BUT YOUR NECKLCE OH MY GOD ITS BEAUTIFUL
Simone... I SO LOVE that necklace! Well done on the campaign, the Calendar... and being the fabulous YOU that you are! Virtual High Five and Ghost Hug :-)
My friend Nils also says sorry for taking my time when he’s showing my something he’s made. Is it a Swedish thing?
Nah its an anxiety thing lol
Simone you’re not wrong! Some people strategically set their goal low so they for sure surpass it. At the same time, some people do Kickstarters multiple times because they’re also good advertising for their product. Another technique is already having donors who you know are going to make large investments and having them wait to give through your Kickstarter so it builds your page’s momentum like woah look how much that project is growing and so fast but really the money was already secured.
Can you make one abit smaller with a knob to switch between months, and RGB so you can have a red day or a blue day or green day .
I like green day :)
Blue monday
Can the next version have a feb. 29th? Would love to be able to have a birthday button!
There could be little round translucent colored discs (think the repositionable window decorations) that could go on the underside of the glass to tint given days like birthdays, anniversaries, vacations, etc. They could be moved or changed as desired. I'd definitely put them underneath rather than on top - but that would require removing the glass,which probably isn't recommended...
@@BarqueCat2 Or just a double click to change the LED color, leds are so cheap it shouldnt be much of a problem to at least have two color leds for each square and with that you could combine it to a ton of different variations. Also if you are worried that it wont look good, just make it so that normal is 100% yellow while birthday is 80% yellow 20% red..
Oh my! I hadn't considered it before, but what do people with Feb 29th birthdays do since they don't have a birthday day but every four years? Do you pick a day on either side? Tell people you're four times younger than you are because it's a technicality? Such a conundrum!
@@GrinningGrey I celebrate on February 28th, and no, a short year is still a year. Queue all the other silly questions I get asked upon meeting everyone...
Mr Spoons: As a fellow leap year baby I feel your pain.
Next thing you know china’s Put out a “each day calendar “ for $100 that looks *suspiciously* similar...........
I mean yeah, there's no reason this thing needs to cost $300.
@@MatthiasTTV reason was unknown variables for small batch manufacturing, if the thing goes viral then yeah i could see it drop to 100$.
would you rather have projects be more reasonable priced and fail to deliver to all backers because the manufacturing price they estimated was lower than what they had to pay?
@@MatthiasTTV They weren't just paying for the product though. They were also backing the product and helping to pay for production
Rather 10$ , the materials for this piece of crap coated 2$
@@suprstraight2421 Do you actually think the materials cost $2 ?
No one I've asked likes or uses Dropbox for anything other than low key personal use. I have used the Microsoft environment with a range of abilities, Sharepoint, OneDrive, Teams are awesome. The ability to track changes, collaborate real time in apps such as Excel, Word, Powerpoint, etc. is brilliant.
What makes Simone great.... the Dino necklace. Worlds of creativity and a plethora of charming personality traits. Ever wonder what the world would be like if each person had even half of the drive and skill she has? Imagine that.
If the "queen of shitty robots" thing falls through for some reason, "macaroni artist extraordinaire" might be a good backup.
I will take one with those messed up corners!
OKAY everybody: If Disney can have Disneyland, then I feel Simone can have the "GIERTZ CALENDAR" Who's with me on this??
If it includes standard -length months and decimal weeks, I am in!
I never saw that awesome necklace before until I saw you wear it. My time wasn't wasted here, thanks Simone!
1st, congrats- you looked so excited, emotional and proud, and you should be. Second, I would just like to comment about how powerful checking off each day can be- especially when wanting to achieve that day's goal(s). I have this thing where, when I want to overcome or accomplish something that is impossible to do, I check off a daily "victory" over it- one day at a time, and it helps empower me as I see the daily victories pile up. It helped me overcome the most impossible thing for me to do- quit smoking, for example. I would see the victories mounting day by day, and if I slipped and messed up- it all got erased and I had to start over. This added value to how important each day really was. You can have a victory using yesterdays win- you have to win the day-TODAY. THIS is something I would buy and use the same way. The "Just For Today" or "Win the Day" calendar. The price would have to be fair, of course, but I am sure it would be. Again, congrats!!
You know what lights up my day, a new Simone video.
Yeah
Macaroni art is not legally required... but should it be?

You make life better for all of us. No need to feel guilty about people watching your videos or asking for money.
i tried a crowdfunding thing awhile back and it was a horrendous embarrassment (long story, rushed, not prepared, ect.) but this gives me hope that my other idea I'd like to bring to market might stand a chance at success. You put into words so many things I felt, like asking for help. I myself am usually the one helping, not needing or getting help. So to ask for stuff like that almost comes with a level of guilt. I really appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Gives some of us hope and thank you.
how in the heck am I just hearing about this. I would gladly have backed this
Lumen Callendar seems like a good name. Or, Lumos Callendar for the ultimate geek experience. Lumendar for short :-D
Yes, Lumendar is great!!!
@@sydneymomma11 Ah, it's an A as second last, oh well :-P
"idk how we'd do this without dropbox"
You'd do it with Google Drive is how you'd do it...
I'd do it with MEGA...
Yeah but you can't sync local folders on Google drive it's all just on the drive and you kinda have to re-upload if you change something
@@angerock49 You can sync local folders to drive. I've been using it for years to sync files between my computers.
@@moth.monster mega is more secure but the team sync isnt as good as dropbox
@@moth.monster You also can't see text documents get edited live.
Version 2.0 suggestions:
- Feb 29
- RGB leds for multi functions (weekends, holidays, etc)
- sync with and app so it can upload the holidays and other dates and also sync a clock so that it can automatically change the day
- Add an option to use batteries(and charge them) so that you are not bound to a wall-plug
I like “Everyday Calendar”. It sounds interactive. Yes all calendars are everyday, but this one you actually look at and touch EVERYDAY. It seems to capture the essence of the calendar quite well.
Also, those small nicks and blemishes make them unique. If it’s too big or causes issues with the function or visual aesthetic then it should be fixed. But, the cool thing about the wood is that a small ding, tear out, or scratch will make it look cooler and like one of a kind. It’s such a great idea for a calendar!!
Version With Extra Interaction: The calendar has a random day that will give you an electric shock. The day changes each time you re-set the year.
Not a fatal shock, obviously, just enough to send you to hospital with a 3rd degree finger burn, providing you with a good story to tell your friends as you laugh about it later on... 👍😎
A 1/7 chance to get a minor shock, a 1/7 chance to get chocolate candy. Get some excitement in your daily grind.
Unless you are chocoholic, in which case you are guaranteed about 52 electroshocks a day.
Lets just call it a therapy device then.
I am so stoked for this calendar!!
I love this video, having it broken down like this was really awesome to see. And congrats on an awesome project! (The calendars loooook amazing btw!)
Don't feel guilty Simone, you are entertaining us whether its about your calendar or your TruckLA or even a simple update on one of your many inventions. We love to see you, you seem to be a very interesting person.
I SERIOUSLY want one of those, pleaaaase don't give up on this project like ever
you are fine, everthing is ok
"You Push My Buttons" calendar. 😇😂
she should include a certificate "Officially hugged by Simone" for all hugged calendars
My favourite distance shrinking help tools /systems right now is Miro (a sharing workspace and former Realtime board) and Zoom (a video conference tool that works (2019...)). When you have colleagues or teams elsewhere. Nice callendar! You are awesom-o!
It needs to be multi layered.....able to mark off multiple tasks per day....grandma walked, mom did her exercise, dad read the word, son did his extra studies, daughter in law did her yoga.....5 things would be enough for now! Maybe concentric rings of different colors....please get right on that....hahaha! it looks awesome and so do you , congradulations on a job well done...such a bright idea!
