Cable Storage - The right way

It's common practice to wrap long cables using your elbow and hand, making big loops over and over... However this leads to twisted cables, knots, and tangles... Below is a link to an excellent tutorial video using two alternate methods (both based on the same concept of alternating the 'loop' of the cable). Check it out, it could very well make your life a lot easier.

Scratch my last stylus...

Granted, it was a pretty easy/simple design. But after a little while of using it off and on and stumbling upon a better concept, I've decided to ditch the 'chips bag pen stylus' design and opt to use a much higher quality material. One I've been a fan of since I first heard about it's release and MANY various uses.

SUGRU! - Fix/Mod/DIY substance of the GODS!

That is a link to a sugru community user's concept design of a smart phone compatible stylus. Wow, that was a wordy sentence.

Anywho, the link above is a MUCH better idea. Why? Because Sugru is fricken awesome. Seriously. Just check out what it is and what it's capable of doing HERE.

To sum it up, all you'll need is some conductive foam (can be found HERE), some sugru, and a core of some sort (a used pen, long wooden dowel, etc. could apply here)

Unfortunately I'm currently out of Sugru, so I'll have to comment on this post down the road once I've ordered some and have had a chance to try it out. CAN'T WAIT!
