[photopress:cantenna.jpg,thumb,alignright]No, it’s not Mighty Mouse…it’s Super Cantenna! The best fifty bucks I’ve ever spent! A 12dbi Wireless Booster Antenna.
I’m still plugging away at my wish list for 2007. For some reason I thought getting a phone card would boost my ability to get my wireless signal on my laptop from my house, but it didn’t. The signal was so weak lately that I was playing “rock a bye laptop” to improve the signal strength enough to get from here to there. A huge drain on my productivity level.
When Kim set it up, he said it reminded him of tin cans and string. A simple little gadget, but its working! Super Cantenna to the rescue! Sometimes…it’s the little things that make life a lot easier.
That’s because it is a tin can on a string. A $50 tin can, apparently.
Many months ago, instructions to make one of these out of a Pringles can were posted to slashdot.
This in entrepreneurship at its finest.
