I love projects that have a hardware and a software piece like this one does!
The features seem to have gone through a progression based on the hardware available.
The initial thing, a red/green light, could have been done entirely through simple logic built just with transistors and passives. The next iteration, a web-based yes/no, could have been satisfied with an Arduino and Wifi/Ethernet shield, or maybe an Electric Imp. The final phase, tracking duration by toilet, the menu bar helper, etc, requires either some backend infrastructure (if using an Arduino or Electric Imp) or the Raspberry Pi.
The animated header, giant video, and annoying spinning model almost lost me though.
