Writing on a Mirror

So I have a fairly awesome apartment set-up right now, and one of the perks is the computer room we have. A large banquet table which hosts six computers is set up on one end of a very large room which will host a wall-mounted TV soon. One of the walls of this room features a MASSIVE mirror above a small fireplace. We've experimented with using dry-erase markers on it, with some success. The surface works fine for them, and they wipe off, but, with it being a mirror, the writing is never super-visible.

What I would love to find would be a set of dry-erase markers that are fairly wide and extremely bright, or at least some kind of color/material that would show up easily on a mirror. I've never encountered this type of thing before, so I'm wondering if anyone has seen something like it.

    Take the mirror off the wall and replace it with a white-board?

    He's in an apartment... it almost certainly came as part of the place, and probably shouldn't be moved or removed without the manager's permission.

    Plus, you just feel smarter writing on a mirror. It's like your genius cannot be contained in the places where you're meant to write things, and it spills out into other surfaces as you continue to solve important problems.

    Presumably problems that involve a shortage of Vespene Gas.

    Writing on a mirror is a good step, but if movies have taught me anything, you're not a true super-genius until you're frantically writing your ideas onto your bedroom window.
