i love reading through other platforms' data exports of what they have on me.

for example, Discord's data export has a few big JSON files of "analytics events", that seem to accidentally contain some things that are probably not really analytics events.

there are these fun "prediction" JSON blobs in a different format than the events...

one of them is trying to predict my gender. "predicted_gender: male", over and over. and what's really hilarious is that it logs its estimated accuracy and the timestamp of the attempt. so i can see that in late 2022, discord kept started to try to predict my gender, and it swung from 91% confident i was male to only 71%, and has been doing this prediction process almost daily this year (2023), ranging from ~70% confidence to ~92% confidence.

another is trying to predict my age, and has waffled between "25-34" and "35+" for a year. similarly with a wide range in confidence. makes me wonder what data modeling they're doing to make that prediction...

relatedly, it's always fun to look at the different event names a platform is logging, to get a taste of how granular they're tracking people... here are some fun ones:

start_listening

tooltip_viewed

context_menu_link_opened

keyboard_shortcut_used

premium_upsell_viewed

app_native_crash

jump

remix_surface_exit_modal

nuo_transition

there are over 400 different kinds of events logged in my data dump, and over 419,000 of these events logged. kinda scary!

Just a curiosity about the type of materials folks prefer for designs. Like if I were to put a star shape on material (garments or accessories), what is your preferred form.

I'm honestly flabbergasted to see so many folks in my quiet little art blog! So I mentioned in my pinned post that I'm a full time graphic designer, which means during the weekdays I'm usually consumed by the 9-to-5 and don't have a lot of sketching time. Buuuut, I do manage to collect as much as I can to release in coming weeks, whether it's running a quick hat or fixing a bad package.

Tl;Dr here's a few things I managed to work on or got in today. Thanks for the inspiration fuel, you are all fantastic! ✨ I appreciate you.

Exercise 1

Imagine you are a product designer for a large corporation. You are tasked with designing the bottle for a new line of concentrated liquid laundry detergent. The Research and Development team has determined that 20 mL of the detergent is the ideal amount to clean a standard load of laundry.

However, your employer is seeking every opportunity to maximize profits and you know you will be rewarded if you work towards that goal. When you design the cap for the detergent bottle, do you put the fill line for a standard load at:

a. 20mL

b. 30mL

c. 50mL

User stories are ubiquitous in today's software development. But one solution doesn't fit all and 👉 user stories 👈 are not an exception to this. Here is my #techblog on why and where "User Stories" don't make any sense👇

I don't have Twitter anymore so I guess I'll share my WIPs here 😆 I've been developing more embroidered clips and they've gone through so much trial and error but they're finally almostttt done. These were actually the first ones I ever tried making (been working on these for over a year!! Things take so much time to make!!!) but they were too complicated to execute well through the process I was going through. So I opted for more simple designs first until I could find a manufacturer I trust and enjoy working with!

You can see how they've changed over time, these aren't even all the samples! The newest melon soda float was a test if my new partner could make the design with the new thread color cards I have to resemble the samples I got from different manufacturers. It's pretty spot on! It just needs the right fabric and some tiny tweaks and it'll be ready! The newest bear was a test of a new fabric: felt this time. We've tried fur, nylon, velvet, and finally settled on this. Now I just have to pick the right felt colors to make him the perfect sax blue 🥰 When I get close to finishing something I always feel so happy because I know how much time I've spent just coordinating making basic things lol 😆
