How to Get a Nintendo DS Stylus to Work on an iPod Touch

Cut a length of sponge roughly half the length of the DS stylus and about four times as thick with your scissors.
Penetrate the length of sponge with the stylus, almost like sliding on a pen cap. You may need to cut a small hole at one end of the sponge if the stylus cannot penetrate the sponge on its own. Insert the stylus as far as you can, since you need to end of the sponge to be as firm as possible.
Leaving about a quarter-inch of sponge protruding from the end of the tape, secure the rest of the sponge to the stylus with a generous wrapping of adhesive tape. Wrap the tape around several times to create a secure hold.
Wet the protruding edge of the sponge with plain water. When wet, the sponge is capable of conducting electricity and will respond nicely to a capacitive touchscreen. Your DS stylus has now been modified to work on your iPod Touch.

How to Reattach Keys to a MacBook (3 Steps)

Remove the plastic connector from the back of the key that has fallen off. The reason keys come off of keyboards is because the connectors have somehow wiggled out of place, allowing the key to fall off. Use a small screwdriver to pry to connector off of the back of the key.
Attach the connector back on the keyboard. The side of the connector with the two small holes in the corners is the left side of the connector. This will give you some orientation on how to place the connector on the keyboard. Place the connector on the keyboard so the small holes are on the left side. You will notice that these small holes line up with two metal tabs on the keyboard. Use the screwdriver push connector until the holes connect with the metal tabs.
Place the key back on the keyboard. Gently apply pressure from right to left until the key is back on the keyboard and snaps it into place. You should hear and feel the key connecting back to the keyboard. Type with the key to make sure it works properly and is fully attached.

How to Make a Stylus

Select an ink pen and a stylus. The first thing you'll need to determine is if your stylus will fit inside the ink tube of the pen. Your best bet is a narrow stylus and a pen with a wide ink tube.
Take apart the pen. Remove all the internal components of the pen including the ink tube and any springs inside the pen.
Remove any appendages from the stylus. Many styluses have small adaptations which serve as a grip or a tab to help hold the stylus in the device. Cut these adaptations off to help the stylus fit inside the pen.
Drain the ink from the ink tube. You will want to make sure you have drained all of the ink to prevent dripping ink on your device's screen. To drain the ink, remove the pen point from the ink tube. After pouring out the ink, soak the tube in hot water to get rid of any remaining ink.
Insert the stylus into the ink tube. If it does not fit, try using an ink tube from a different pen.
Put the contents of the pen back together. Make several stylus pens to keep at work and around house so you'll always have one within reach.

How Do I Find a WPA2 Key?

Set up your Internet connection with a modem. You must have an Internet connection of some kind before you attempt to look at your router settings.
Open a browser window, preferably Internet Explorer, and type in one of these IP addresses: http://192.168.1.1, http:/192.168.0.1, or http:/192.168.0.1. The IP address differs for each router, so try all three IP addresses. A small box should pop up asking your for your username and password.
Type in 'admin' for the username and 'password' in the password field if this is the first time you have set up your router. Otherwise, enter the username and password you already created. Reset the router if 'admin' doesn't allow you to log into the main setup screen. You must find the tiny hole somewhere on your router and press it in with a pushpin or other small, sharp object. Hold down for 15 seconds and try to log in again with 'admin' and 'password.'
Click on the 'Settings' tab on the webpage that pops up. Click the 'Wireless' button and then click on the 'Security' tab.
Click on the 'WPA2' key from the menu and look at the password.
