Geeky wreath

From Reddit: a lovely, geeky wreath for an unnamed company's IT department.

My good friend made this wreath for her IT department. (via Neatorama)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Shit man, don’t let a cop see that. They’ll bust your ass for manufacturing a hoax WMD.

yeah, don’t try to mail one of these, nor bring it through Logan Airport.

yeah, busted computer components are so festive… throw it in the recycling bin, some desperate third world metallurgist can smelt out the good stuff.

Next project: making a wreath that will actually boot up.

I made one for my IT department a few years ago. http://www.teamdroid.com/archives/2006/12/02/building-the-iwreath-for-a-cyber-christmas/
Fun times!

I’m no IT tech, but I do think I see enough components on there to make that wreath theft-worthy, a la last years wreath-stealing grinch. I hope there’s a built-in alarm.
