Geek. Geek’s Wife.
Two items:
- Saturday morning I spent about an hour posting corrections and additions to the Wikipedia entry for Doctor Who. I didn’t have to look anything up.
- Later the same day my wife wanted to test if you could write on a tile with marker and clean it off later. The test message she wrote was, and I quote:
“Hello World! :)”
Obviously she’s learning.

But did it wipe off? Remember, tiles don’t have undo buttons

It wiped off cleanly (wet erase) up to two days later.
Be careful trying this at home, kids! Some tile is more porous than others. These are porcelain bathroom tiles with a high-gloss surface. The floor tile with the more matte finish didn’t fare as well.
[Update: These were loose tiles, and easily tossed. Definitely don't experiment with the tiles that are actually installed!]
