+title: 'Hack-a-Day, Day 12: Whiteboard to-do list'
+---
+
+Today I made a TODO list. It has whiteboard sections to write tasks in, an eraser, and a timer. You should be able to use it flat or on the wall, though it's a little bulky to use flat.

+
+The blue is mostly spray paint, with some hand acrylic painting near the tape. The various bits on top are held in place with magnets, which I epoxied.
+
+The cost to make this was $17. $5 for the whiteboard marker, $5 for the MDF board, and $7 for the timer. The eraser I made for free, I already had paints, whiteboard tape, epoxy, and magnets.

+Originally I had planned to add a bunch of electronics (LEDs for which task is active), but I decided not to. I was having a rough time getting my microcontroller to work, or figuring out how to mount hardware. I don't think I would have been happy with the electronic version (even with enough time to do it well), and I am with this version.
