每周我们都会拿出提示框，与大家分享好的读者提示；本周我们将研究DIY iPad的柱头、轻松的电缆组织以及如何破解自己的廉价信号扩展Wi-Fi天线。

用绘图笔卷起你自己的ipad手写笔

Branden在文章中提到了创建一个又快又脏的iPad手写笔的技巧：

I saw your cute DIY hack for the Cars iPad toy and it reminded me of a quick trick for creating an iPad stylus. When all the hacks were floating around the internet right after the release of the iPad, I skipped most of them. They all involved stuff like soldering, drilling, winding wire, etc. Not fun.

A super easy way to make a stylus is to simply take a **all piece of conductive foam and pinch it into the lead holder in a metal drafting pencil. You might need to experiment with different drafting pencil bodies to get it right but all of the ones on my desk work fine.

我们手头有绘图用的铅笔，现在我们所要做的就是在车间里到处找导电泡沫。好小费，布兰登！

一次回收并整理所有电缆

奥利用一个聪明而简单的组织黑客来写：

I’ve been using this trick for years, ever since I saw it on the tubes. I keep all my infrequently uses cables organizes with paper towel and toilet paper rolls. It’s simple really… you just gently fold the cables and tuck them in the tubes. After that you can stack the tubes (like canes in a shipping crate) inside a cardboard box. I have a couple filing boxes of neatly organizes cables in my office closet.

这些年来，我们使用了各种各样的技术，包括领带和拉链袋，就速度而言；然而，这两种技术肯定都比不上。

diy廉价wi-fi天线

伊塞拉写了以下Wi-Fi扩展黑客：

I was looking at my local electronics store for some Wi-Fi extending antennas. They wanted $50 for a high-gain pair! Since I only paid $50 for the router it seemed pretty silly to pay another $50 when I could just buy another router and set it up as a repeater for that price. I went home, did a little Googling, and found this video where a guy hacks apart one of those fancy high-gain antennas and finds that its pretty much the exactly same thing as the standard antenna except the wire is longer and has a set of coils in it. Using the video as a guide I pulled apart my existing antennas and with some scrap wire, a drop of solder, and a straw (he wasn’t kidding about the hack costing a nickel), I’ve got high-gain antennas! Score!

我们很想拆开我们的路由器。我们有所有必要的组成部分：铜，焊料，吸管，和健康无视保证。
