Wrinke-Free Ties with the Tie Winder

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

There are dozens of tie travel cases that essential do the same thing: keep your ties neat and wrinkle free while traveling. While we have not done extensive testing on offerings out there, our favorite is this nifty roll-up model by WildTies. The cylinder is the longest and widest that we found so it can easily accommodate the longer, thicker ties we favor. Just insert the narrow end in first and wind it up.

Between the shear incompetence of the airline industry and the unpredictability of winter weather, there is a pretty good chance we will experience at least one travel delay this week (we hope its only one). Eliminate at least part of the headache that comes with frequent travel by singing up for a free TripChill account. Once you forward your itinerary to the site, you will begin receiving real-time mobile alerts for delays, cancellations or gate changes. Plus it alerts your friends and colleagues about your travel status and provides the ability to book car and hotel from your phone. There is even a TripChill iPhone app.

Sure that stuff is cool but my favorite feature of the site the picture of the frustrated traveler rocking a Moto TimePort circa 2000. Rather funny for a service that promotes its wireless phone integration since that phone was not even capable of SMS… Then again, I am a cell phone nerd…
