Should've put a portal at the center of it, now you'll never know whether aliens from other universes eat grapes out of each other's assholes like humans do...

I don't think I'd ever have the need for that but I'll give you a "well done" for for your magic mirror project

Yeah pretty sure I don’t need to see myself looking at the weather or traffic or any other content, but well done. I think.

I love the idea but I think it would be a better application in a bathroom. Always see them at sports bars in the men's room.

Yeah, I generally see them in bathrooms as well (and only really at Ritz Carltons).

Nice to see weather and news updates when you are already going to be standing in front of a mirror for a few minutes.

Cool application though, the budget was a lot lower than I expected. I like the color and look in your living room overall, just not as useful.
