I love the IT Crowd, if you haven’t seen it. PLEASE go out and pick up the DVDs of all three seasons. They get progressively better, and the best episode so far was in the middle of Series 3, Episode 4 titled “The Speech.” Jen has to give a speech as employee of the month about her field (IT/Computers) but doesn’t know anything about the subject. So she is helped out by her two coworkers and given “THE INTERNET.” I can’t tell you how many times I laughed at this scene and decided I must build my own.
This week, a new instructable came out about how to build a circuit that would do the same thing. I already had a blinking LED light from my robot santa costume, so I modified that a little bit, added a switch to turn it on and off without having to open the box and presto, I have the internet. I can’t hang onto it for that long though, I’ve got to take it to the top of the Empire State Building, where it gets the best reception.
