Who decided that you can only eat bacon and eggs for breakfast? Seems like a useless “rule” to me, and thankfully restaurants like Denny’s allow me to order breakfast food 24/7. Similarly, who decided your Media Center has to be in the living room? That “rule” is also useless, and thankfully there’s MCEDev to make the devices useful in other rooms, like the kitchen (via TV Squad):

The idea is simply – why not use the powerful Media Center platform in the kitchen? Watch news, your favourite episodes or let the Media Center play some music while you’re cooking.

What would be the most interesting application for a kitchen? Correct - a cookbook.

Sounds like a pretty cool application - an interactive cookbook that helps you with recipes, everything from preparation to a step-by-step walkthrough.

Even more amazing are the mirror displays that adnotam makes (they approached MCEDev about the app). They make the kitchen look like a normal kitchen when the Media Center is turned off.

Awesome! What other rooms would be good for Media Center customizations? Maybe the garage?
