Tangled Up in Blue

What it seems to do, which is kinda cool - if you have trouble with various wires and computer leads and headphone cords getting all tangled up, then simply wind them around this little Stitch figure, and he'll keep you organized.

I just like his jovial expression, I just wonder what he's supposed to be listening to on his headphones? Maybe some Elvis?

  1. "maki" means to wind up. "tori" means to "take" -- so I think "makitori" means something like "to take up slack" or "to wind up neatly."

  2. Ah, that makes sense!

    This is totally a Japanese thing that you need but you didn't know you needed until somebody made one. I'm looking at the tangle of wires on my desk right now....
