WiFi 'HighGain' Improv

I was getting some poor reception with the internal Intel wireless card while hoteling it...so with a little improvisation I was able to triple my local WiFI reception.

Dish construction is comprised of an oriental sieve/fryer/cooker (hey, I'm in Hawaii and they are readily available), plumbing fittings, a Hawking mini wireless-G USB adapter (HWU54G), a ten foot usb extension cable, some copper wire, fine clippers (for opening up the sieve, some foam sheeting and about 10 minutes of work!

Presto!
