Often a startup company white board tips to criticality, and becomes enshrined, a time capsule of bottled excitement.
Congrats to the whole team on closing the financing yesterday!
It's fun to revisit the napkin sketches of culture and dreams several
years later
(examples: Google '05, Google '10, Evolved Machines, Stealth Satco, Halcyon)

wow, flickr is emerging and while emerging is in fact already expanding into space through swimming protocols, so cool! one illustration - how ideas become a reality and on deep routed symbolism embedded in our subconscious mind:)

Aha, the old bluetail-fish white-boarding scheme, which has already been outed in the current January 2012 issue of WIRED Magazine, which reports in the Datastream feature on page 23 that the TSA has found such contraband as "240 live fish in suitcases filled with water."

I'd like to see the whiteboard doodle for the successful venture capitalists that manage to discriminate between common geeky weirdness and the Next Big Thing. It seems to me that a willingness to buckle down and keep working for years is not represented on this board. Maybe that's their secret. The fact that you appear to be interrupting someone at work seems a good omen.
I notice the garage door on the right, making this an Actual Garage, not a proverbial one. Best of luck to them!

That colorful shirt brings a nice touch to the image
..and It's indeed a device company - once the bugs are worked out, will be miniaturized - allocates and manages virtual money in a peer to peer environment that is open and verifiable - manages multiplier effects and credit robotically with user approved rules weighted by long term common good criteria ;D
