Comments on: Glass “whiteboard” http://blog.xcski.com/2006/11/01/glass-whiteboard Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

The pictures on their website don't do it justice...it's great looking, and it's remarkable easy to mount to the wall, because first you put up the four corner "pegs", then the glass slips onto it - beats trying to mark and drill while hoisting the whole thing!

We have created a process so they can be any colour plus you can have your logo or text or whatever on them. A bit more expensive than ikea but those ones kind of look pretty inexpensive too ...

I bought about 5 of them and mounted them next to eachother on one wall. Another thing I have done was to go to the local glass company and get a custom size. Although not cheap, it turned out very nice! Actually, you can find glass white boards at IKEA for about $20 (2X3). I bought about 5 of them and mounted them next to eachother on one wall.

The common tv shows House and Psych both use them. They are made of glass and standard dry-erase markers work on glass very well. I am currently trying to find them.

The cost would be significantly less depending on what size you would want to use.

Have never been satisfied with the "erasing characteristics" of most white boards. Have looked for glass white boards, but a good sized one is not cheap (Pottery barn has a 2'x3' one for $130). But after reading this posting, I realized --why not use to sliding glass doors of the office!? Fun idea. Have never been satisfied with the “erasing characteristics” of most white boards.

You just need some big headphones and be drawing tracks of incoming airplanes, submarines, ships, etc. and you'll fit right in. Is using a window as a whiteboard really that unusual?

You would then have to use a (erasable) pen to trace the picture and then phone in to give the answer to the rebus that appeared. While playing along I've noticed that people tend to freak out if you start drawing on the TV :-).

I mean, he doesn't use the windows, but his board is clear. I guess they’ve never seen House…
