That's very cool. Love how it's interactive.

The cutting board diffuser came about because I went to my local hardware shop (which is not a chain) and asked the owner about pieces of opaque plastic (I was thinking pricey perspex). He's always got good ideas and said the only thing he could think of was a cutting board.

I've linked to the one I bought (he doesn't have a web site so I've linked to a chain that sells the same board). Dirt cheap and cutable with a Stanley knife.

How do you get three different kinds of diffusion with the same board?
