A Very Good Idea

This guy uses his setup to pipe music to his kitchen via Pandora, view his Google Calendar, and get a look at the news. He needed a lightweight operating system that would support Flash, and ultimately settled on the much-beloved Puppy Linux. A little tinkering, two coat-hangers (which he used for mounting the laptop), and some elbow grease later, he’s put together a very cool kitchen computer.

Despite having put together a great setup already, he has a few more ideas for spicing up his setup in the future:

  • Integrate software keyboard for occasional logins
  • Cron-like item scheduling for time based events, ( ie, show weather in morning, news at night )
  • Limited command support for auto-shutdown of the appliance
  • A RSS feed integrator showing semi-random news items stock ticker style.
