#5 Come up through a hole in the floor into the base and up the pole (unless of course you live in a second floor apartment in which case the number is going to be pissed.)
Moderately inspirational message.

They also left out quite a few features that are "still in beta" (AKA replaced by Facebook crap). I opened a Flickr account.

How about a wood base to go under your signal base with a slot cut out for the wire to exit like this:

Get some plywood, cut a square large enough for one inch to stick out of each side of the base, cut the slot, paint it the desired color and you're done. No damage has to be done to your base or floor.

OPTION #5: Buy some levelling feet and thread them into the bottom of your base. You can level your base and allow the wiring to exit out the bottom without damaging your base or your floor. I just bought levelling feet for my milling machine. They aren't too costly.

What's with all the quotes in everyone's signatures?
