Sweet! Hadn't seen it before. Now, replace the white lights with some 
RGB LED spots and make color a part of the process! :)

Hmm. I wonder how much water it uses and how big a pump they have to 
have to keep up with the "print" output... Also.. it doesn't look like 
the flow is laminar...

I wonder if the non-laminar flow makes the "pixels" easier to see since 
they contain air so they would reflect light better? Hmmm.

So, make the water dispenser a circle (like a hula-hoop) instead of a 
bar, could you make 3-d images? :D

Damn nice work anyway you look at it! :)
