I mounted a 20" widescreen flat panel LCD monitor on the wall in my living room and hooked it up to my HTPC as a second monitor. Initially I thought I would use it as a digital picture frame. But now I'm bored with just photos and I'm wondering what other creative things I can use it for. Any ideas? And what software can I use to make it easy? Or do I just use a customized web page in full screen?
Ideas I have are weather feeds, traffic feeds, stock quotes, etc. But what else? I'm thinking there must be some software or a webpage that I could leave running 24x7 that would display useful information. I'm just trying to brainstorm what types of useful information is out there and then find an easy way to display it on the screen.
Any ideas?

Anything else? Are there any programs out there designed to give weather and news alerts while also displaying other useful information at the same time? Or is there a cool website that's easily customized to show useful data in a fullscreen mode?
