DS Daily: Is length everything?

Yesterday's stylus featured in our DIY-recycling round-up looked so sweet, we thought we'd talk about it a little more. We use a variety of styli for interacting with our favorite touchscreens; sometimes (when we can find it) we use an extendable stylus, but it's still awfully skinny. That pen-width notion may be worth looking into. Of course, there are other options, but most are lacking a wonderful magic word: free.

Would you prefer a fat stylus? Do you already use one? Or is the skinny version just fine with you?
