DIY Necktie Wi-Fi Hotspot: TieFi

Posted on by

We all know that mobile devices often put us into bubbles of isolation. As a Father’s Day treat, ad agency Grip Limited thought of a cheeky way to force children to get closer to their dads. It’s the TieFi, a wearable Wi-Fi hotspot.

tiefi_necktie_wi_fi_wireless_hotspot_by_grip_limited_1zoom in

Grip Limited’s TieFi crammed a Raspberry Pi 2, a Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi adapter, a nano USB wireless range extender and a battery pack into a necktie to turn fathers – or anyone really – into a walking Wi-Fi hotspot. The low-power transmitter means users need to remain within 10 feet of its wearer to connect, encouraging kids to stay in the same room as Dad.

Skip to 1:40 for the bit about TieFi:

Drag your kids to your workshop and head to the TieFi website to find out how you can make one. Or, you know, use your phone as a hotspot.

Notably Fashionable: Composition Notebook Tie

Composition Notebook Tie

 

So you can’t write on it, but the Composition Notebook tie is still pretty damn cool. It has just one ‘leaf’ and features the instantly-recognizable pattern on the front that you find on most composition notebooks. It’s made from smooth satin weave microfiber and is uber soft to the touch. It would make the perfect gift for that teacher who made an impact in your life, a writer, or your dad (who could be both.)

It’s available in traditional, modern, and skinny widths from Welltied for $40.

Laser-guided tactical necktie

 

Be ready for anything you might encounter at the office and look spiffy to boot with the laser-guided tactical necktie.

It also comes with a removable pouch that you can fill with your small but essential stuff, like a multi-tool or mints or something.

The coolest part? The second removable pouch, which houses the class II laser pointer that you can use when you’re presenting something or when you just want to mess around with the people on the other end of the room.

The tactical necktie is available online for $29.99.

Tetris LED Tie: The Missing Puzzle Piece for Your Geeky Suit

Posted on by

A few months ago we saw an awesome tie with a built-in equalizer. Bill Porter is working on a more interactive necktie: one that plays Tetris. Bill made it to trump his usual geeky teaching attire, a lab coat with lots of LEDs on it. Even in its unfinished state I think we can all agree that the Tetris Tie is much better than the lab coat.

tetris led tie by bill porter

The tie is made of a DigiSpark microcontroller, 80 RGB LEDs and two Li-ion batteries in a custom 3D-printed housing. Bill originally used the batteries for his wedding suit. Don’t be afraid of clicking that link; it’s much better than the lab coat.

All in all Bill only spent four hours and about $50(USD) to make the tie, but as I said, it’s still unfinished. Right now the tie only displays random movements. I’m pretty sure he’s also going to trim the cardboard overlay or perhaps get rid of it altogether. Bill is also planning on adding A.I. that can actually play the game as well as a Bluetooth module so that it can be played using a smartphone as a controller.

Light-Up Ties Light Up Your Work Life

Posted on by

Ties don’t have to be boring. If you’re sick of wearing the same checkered tie every day because it’s required at your work place, then fret not, because Electric Styles is here to save the day with their quirky ties.

They’re shaped like a regular tie, but what makes them different is the fact that they outlined with electroluminescent wire.

LED Outline TieThese ties not only literally light up your outfit, but they can also light up your work life in a figurative sense. I doubt you can have a boring day at work when you’ve got this tie on.

These Light-Up Ties are available for $29.97(USD) each on Electric Style’s Etsy shop. Each tie is sewn by hand, and they’re available in blue, green or white versions. Two modes for the light are available: on (static, so you’re lit up the whole time) and blinking (use this mode if you don’t think a light-up tie is enough of an attention grabber.)

LED Ampli-tie: Daft Punk Formal

Posted on by

Have you seen those t-shirts that have a built-in equalizer? They look cool in theory, but they’re not really awesome up close. Most of them have this awkward-looking large cardboard in the middle where the LEDs shine through. Then there’s the fact that you have to carry around a battery pouch. This necktie variant is a lot cooler.

adafruit led ampli tie

Becky Stern of Adafruit calls her creation the LED Ampli-tie. This particular tie runs on Adafruit’s FLORA, an Arduino-compatible board. The Flora detects ambient noise via a small microphone hidden behind the tie’s knot. Adafruit already wrote the program that will make the 16 Flora RGB LEDs react to the noise. The best part? The Ampli-tie runs on the FLORA’s battery.

Check out Becky’s post on Adafruit’s website for the full walkthrough.

FlaskTie: Now You Can Wear Your Tie and Drink From It, Too

Posted on by

Flask Tie

Here’s another way you can stick it to your boss for all the crap that you went through this year: the FlaskTie. It’s a passive-aggressive way of going about it since you won’t be doing or saying anything. What you’ll be doing behind his or her back instead is have an occasional swig or two of some happy juice while you’re at work, thanks to the FlaskTie. It’s the latest unusually innovative tie made by the same group that brought you the Pillow Tie last year.

The FlaskTie has an 8 oz flask concealed inside it, so all you have to do is lift the back slip with the mouthpiece and sip away whenever you get thirsty. Of course, you don’t have to fill it up with booze, because we all know how annoyingly hard it can get to punch in numbers or type up reports when you’re tipsy. That, and the fact that it could get you fired…

The coolest thing about the tie’s mouthpiece is that it self-seals after each drink, so you don’t have to worry about any drips or stains on your shirt (or worse, on your pants.) The FlaskTie is priced at $24.95.
