Mike showed magic mirrors originally (https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/magic-mirror/). I had a raspberry pi lying around from a failed project, so I figured why not give it a try… how hard could it be?

My mirror shows the time, the weather, the state of my garage door (open or close), and the last 5 pushover notifications I have received.

I pulled this metal thing out of the garbage. Gave it a fresh coat of paint, and a fancy wood piece for the top.
