Farsong Blog-o-Matic - Airport Hax

Remember yesterday's Very Tiny Pecan Pie? To-day, since I accidentally the very tiny pecan pie, I have a fun project that has nothing to do with it (it does, however, require a very tiny pie tin. It cost me 80¢, and I don't know if it works, but the airport signal in my menubar indicates full signal.

In fact, the project is a very tiny pietin waveguide. It's really quite straightforward:

Step 1:
Punch a hole in the pie tin.

Step 2:
Stick the PowerMac G5 Airport antenna (which is kinda sucky on its own)


And stick it through the hole you made:









Step 3:
Install and direct (the direction of my wireless router is "up and back"):





Step 4:
???


Step 5:
Profit!



This seriously took me all of about three minutes and 80¢. I think it took longer to actually eat the little pie. I also have no data as to the strength of the signal with and without.
