Some Russian guy has posted a lot of amazing pictures of what you can do with a little excess Cat-5 cable, and a lot of time. These are some amazing little action figures he has made. Throughout the first series, he kind of shows how you go about making the basic guy (there is one main guy in the image, along with the in-process guy…)
These things are very tiny. Scroll down and see the one standing on a dice, and next to a matchstick to get an idea of how small they are.
First person who makes one of these bad boys will get their image (with the little guy) in the banner rotation for my masthead!
Check them out here… If anyone can translate the text to English please feel free to enlighten us on what it is saying on this page…
Update: the original page seems to have gone down. A Flickr photoset has the images still hosted… it can be found here. There is a post on digg.com about the Cat-5 action figures.

I always wondered what would happen when WiFi made wired-internet obsolete…

We made some of these over the week end. We have some pictures, but just haven’t uploaded them to the computer yet. You will like them!
