The room says good morning.

The first thing the room says.

At 07:45 the office is still dark, and the mirror is already awake: the time, the weather, the first line of the calendar, floating in glass where my reflection should be. It is the room’s way of saying it knows I am here.

It is also where all of this started. The mirror was the first thing I built for this room, years before the panel or the agenda. Every created thing in here descends from the evening I first put a display behind glass and watched text float.

The build, in short.

Glass over light

aTwo-way glass only works over true black. The interface is white type on nothing; any background glow kills the trick.

bThe oak frame is joined, not screwed. It hangs like a mirror because it is one, most of the day.

The full build documentation with every step lands here after the shoot.

Doing its thing.

let config = {
  modules: [
    { module: "clock", position: "top_left" },
    { module: "calendar", position: "top_left" },
  ],
};

Up close.
