Is that even a real term? One of my peeves is loose wires. Loose wires when you set up your media center, computer, etc. A lot of people who see me "on the go" notice my little gadgets. So, I thought I may as well share what I use and where I got them. Amazon, of course! Although amazon prime does not offer 2nd day air shipping to Hawaii, their free super saver shipping doesn't disappoint. Free kindle book rentals and Amazon Prime movies is a bonus.
First, my home charging station. If your family is like most, everyone has a cell phone, ipod, and/or an ipad. Prior to finding these nifty things, my nightstand looked like a bowl of spaghetti noodles spilled all over the place. The surge protector was loaded with adapters and there were even a few spots that were left unused due to large adapters that hogged space rendering their neighboring spots unusable. After months of irritation and frustration, I finally gave in and got a charging station and the Anker desktop usb charger.

Now, my nightstand is completely clutter free and I no longer need a chunky surge protector next to my bed! This helps us keep our phones within reach, charged up overnight, and without having to untangle and search for wires! This was money well spent!
With wires kept tidy at home, I must keep wires tidy on the road. Macbook charging cords are very cumbersome. The way the adapter is built, you can't really wind it or keep it together neatly. I have a Dell laptop for work and that adapter comes with a rubber tie on it that helps keep the cord neatly bundled when not in use. The mac adapter doesn't. After a few weeks of annoyance, I decided to search for something that would help keep this cord manageable. I found Quirky.
This quirky tool is awesome! I carry my macbook to work every day and also use it at different locations when having to teach classes. This quirky has made my life so much better!! No more thick cords all over my bag. It comes with a matching clip to attach the thick wide cord to itself when storing or if you want to keep the slack on the quirky. I love this gadget!
