http://iago.no-ip.com/pictures/Christmas.JPGHow to make a high tech christmas tree on a budget
1. Get some 8-gauge (or so) solid core wire, bend it into a star.
2. Wrap the star with yellow Cat-5 cable (crossover, of course).
3. Get a coat rack.
4. Attach lights to the coat rack, from the legs to the top.
5. Wrap colored Cat5 cable around the lights.
6. Hang CDs, candy canes, etc. on the "tree".
7. Tape the star to the top of the "tree".
8. Put special gifts (keyboards, mice, etc.) under the tree.
That's it! A tree for the cost of $10 for the lights (everything else was laying around the office)!
