Letting the internet draw on my house for the holidays

Letting people separated by the pandemic share a holiday moment together, by drawing on my house

I'm a big fan of mixing old technology with new technology. A few of the other things I've built include:

  • An internet-controlled butter churning machine (the butter was actually not bad)
  • A hat that let the internet pull my hair like the movie ratatouille (we made cookies on a livestream)
  • The piano batcave door opener from the Batman movies
  • A rotary phone with the Google Assistant on it
  • An emergency stop button for difficult Zoom meetings
