How to run your own network wiring

Engadget's Will O'Brien has written a great piece called How-To: Run your own network wiring. I think it's fair to call it a pretty quick-and-dirty guide, as some of the commenters are criticizing its ad-hoc nature, but if quick-and-dirty is what you need, this is the guide for you. O'Brien tells you what supplies and equipment you'll need to put together your own custom-length cables and then gives some tips on where to hide them. Sure, you might say this new age of wireless obviates the need for wired networks, but if that's not possible or cost-effective for you, take a look at Will's guide and also the comments, which point out some safety and legal issues you might want to be aware of.
