Here is a nifty way to put your favorite recipes on the kitchen counter without having to print them or search through gads of little food stained papers.
It is called VGA over Cat 5, Using the cabling already in my walls I can push the recipes that I look up on my desktop to the LCD TV in the kitchen. You can also stream movies and audio across another cat 5 cable. See the diagram for the VGA to Cat 5 pin out. Just make one for each end and you are set. Max distance for vga without a circuit board is around 50ft. Good Luck.
