TV in the kitchen....

[mtechnik]

who the F**K watches cooking programs while cooking!!!

please!!! you watch the program, then cook, you cant possibly prepare food as fast as the shows go!-- unless its how to order out!, or how to cook a frozen pizza

Its because the world is getting to lazy to read, and just admit it! the newspaper is too much work to read!

well wouldn't know but haven't tried it yet for myself. But though on playback possibilities

That's some... interesting wire management you've done there. Especially the twisting of the white cable going to the TV.

You understand you're derating the wire and probably losing some percentage of signal, right?

That picture was right after i got it running, everything was tucked away and tidy'd up after this was taken.
And the signal loss issue youre concerned about is not a factor in a situation like this.

BTW, way off topic, NEVER CALL ME WHILE TAKING A SHIT. I hate that. /rant

I have never heard of Tivo

:)
However, I agree with you on all points. What the hell is wrong with a recipe book?
I have a feeling I will be the last person on the planet who still uses paper to read and write on.

I say the girlie would cut off a finger watching "the hills" and chopping vegetables. She likes tv too much to let her have one in the kitchen. On the other hand, if I could count the amount of boil overs and burnt food from her leaving the kitchen while cooking to catch a couple minutes of a show. Don't know which is more dangerous.

As for the bathroom, I always get a kick out of hotel bathrooms that have a TV and phone within reach of the shitter. I'm a bit of a germaphobe, so I never end up turning the tv on or making a call but it's a cool thought.

Nice Samsung, I was looking at the same model some day ago.

TV's in the kitchen can come in great for the Misses if she wants to watch a cook program. Stuff like that makes it super handy. TV5......television Francaise..




That's kind of like how I hate to miss Cheaters.

They even have little PDA's above the ice machine for keeping recepies and shit along with the internet for the weather.

And TV's in the kitchen are very common. Just about every house we wire and install a system in has one, even some of the less extravagant homes.

For mothers day, i installed a computer and hooked it up to the kitchen TV for viewing of recipes.

The system stays on all the time, so all they have to do is hit video, and it switches over. My windows install was a skimmed down version and resolution to best suit the crappy LCD. But on this computer is all of the family's recipes... and web browser for quick check of email or cooking web sites.
MS Word was set up so it automatically pulls full screen for easy reading. The computer is networked as a remote server so other computers in the house can access the files to add or make changes, etc, at any time. Wireless keyboard and mouse are great to move over to the island and view from affar, though its a little small.



The computer is on the other side of the wall out of sight. Video is in the form of Svideo and keyboard and mouse are USB. The box is some random junk AT case i had lying around. I crammed a Athlon 550 mobo in it. Had to rebuild the PS to be relocated to front bottom of case. No cd, no floppy, pretty bare bones, but it gets the job done. (Black box is 12v supply to kitchen lighting)




My next "gift idea" (which i'm looking into this christmas) is to setup a biquad antanne to extend their wifi across the lake to the cabin, where we cant get high speed internet.

wow, that looks really ghetto.


TVs are popular in the kitchen for people to occupy themselves when they are cooking. we install them all the time in Kitchen remodels

far too advanced.
Just setup a series of mirrors throughout the house.
Also, I enjoy the "techie" writeup ;)
