Introduction

Build a "Smart Mirror" to display the Weather and News information. In it's more advanced forms, it might be possible to do more than that. It would be great if it could "recognize" a person and look up information specific to them (calendar, news, etc).

Desired Features

• Count Down Timer - How many Years/Months/Weeks/Days/Hours/Minutes until a deadline.
  • ie - New Years; Vacation; Presidential Election
