Eureka Room Update 7/18/2022

Friday 7/15/22 Friday I spent most of the day working furiously on edits. I didn't want to leave with Turkey Volcano unfinished because I wanted to take Saturday off. I ran into technical issues with TouchDesigner which were exacerbated by the tiredness of having worked so many 12+ hour days in a ro...

Eureka Room Update 7/14/2022

Tuesday 7/12/22 Tuesday I worked on the tedious editing of programs. Wendy came over and helped a lot more on the curtains. I had a test showing in the evening with Iain, Jason D, Alisa, and Kevin. This forced me to get all the details ready which revealed a lot more than running the exercise in my...

Eureka Room Update 7/12/2022

Saturday 7/9/22 I worked on updating programs to fit the dimensions of the new room. It is extremely slow going. I'm averaging about 1-2 minutes of footage per hour. There's about 50 minutes of footage. Not sure if I mentioned this, but the coroplast sign is possibly one of the best ideas I've had i...

Eureka Room Update 7/7/2022

I didn't do an update post on Tuesday because not much happened over the three day weekend. I had been working non-stop so took the weekend off. Mostly. Thursday / Friday I don't remember what happened when, but Tal came by and helped with some odds and ends I just wasn't getting to. Painting the be...

The You Can Only Say Yes Museum

In this museum, you are only allowed to say, "Yes". Other than that, talking is not permitted. Maybe it's not "yes". It could be some other word. Maybe different rooms of the museum have different words. Maybe you are encouraged to say it to the other patrons or maybe to the art. How do you know wha...

Eureka Room Update 7/1/2022

Tuesday 6/28/2022 This was a frustrating day. I attempted to get the two projectors to work together to create one 6' tall screen. Long story short, I did not and I'm going with just one projector that gets 4' tall. There were a couple of hurdles I could not get over. Getting them positioned to wher...

Eureka Room Update 6/28/2022

Friday 6/24/22 Grant was off today helping the Bike Zoo. I went over to Wendy's and helped her make up the waiting room curtains. The curtains has turned out to be a bigger job than anticipated. We got the 12 panels done and I took them over for Grant and me to hang up next week. Once they are hung...

Eureka Room Update 6/24/2022

Tuesday Grant was unable to come to the space today and I didn't have any work that couldn't be done from home, so I worked from home. I like to assign environments to tasks and home is where I do the marketing stuff, mostly. So I spent the day updating the website and the booking system to ready it...

Eureka Room Update 6/21/2022

Friday While I thought I had the LEDs fully working on Thursday, it turned out that wasn't the case. I spent most of the morning getting them going. Grant got the screen and screen fabric up. I got the projector oriented enough to know I had the wrong one. I bought a nice 1080p projector and had tes...

Eureka Room Update 6/17/2022

Monday 6/13/22 I've already lost track, but I think I worked on getting the LEDs flatter and got back into TouchDesigner to relearn the system and start configuring for the new controller board. Grant tested the distance of the plexiglass and despite my flattening of the LED strips, there were still...
