Why not draw directly on the wall with lasers, using the iPad as a color/tool palette?

I was wondering what it would be like to draw on the wall:

Perhaps unsurprisingly, it doesn't feel good to draw in one place and see the effects in another. Oh well.

See the attached video for what the drawing process looks like. (Ignore the laggy drawing.)

It's a little silly (the whole project is a little silly, which is nice), but it's getting at some general ideas --

 - every process should have a place in the world
   - you can think about it in that place
   - you can bring other people over to that place
   - you can get to it by pointing to that place

 - every process should indicate when it is working

 - every process should indicate when it has been working (history timeline)

The daemons on the "engine room" board don't do 2 and 3 yet, but they should.
