 Tough to change just now you've started to use it in the field, but it
 seems like the brick for displaying a Journal object could be much more
 useful if it was centred on the turtle position, and rotated to match its
 orientation. That way you could use it to place arrays of images/shapes
 from Journal (like a bitmap brush). Loading in a PNG with alpha and trying
 to use it as a paint brush was the 2nd thing I tried (after displaying a
 dull screen shot) :-)

 This could lead to some simple "sprite" like games/stories/animations –
 though some you could do now with the current ridged orientation (draw a
 couple of frames of a character in paint and use them to animate a walk in
 TA).
