I was on Digg, and I dug this design for a WiFi dish/vegetable steamer.
I drilled 2 extra holes slightly off from the existing hole in the center of the steamer. I then clipped the remaining metal with tin snips. I bent the sharp edges back just enough for my usb extender to fit snugly in the opening. I tested my usb adapter first using net stumbler. I could see 4 APs. After adding the dish I could detect 25 APs during a slow 360 degree sweep of the room. A fun and easy little experiment.
The steamer was $6 at IKEA.
