Today a remote conversation with Aubrey Anderson, the designer/developer ofRuncible, the circular “anti-smartphone.” What do you do when you’re tired of seeing people stare down blankly at a rectangle? Reinvent the darned thing. Runcible is a legacy electronic, designed to last and constructed of quality & socially responsible materials, and it’s specially calibrated to enahnce your interactions with the world around you, not distract you from it. And you can carry it on a stylish chain! Visit the IndieGoGo page for more info, or the theMonohm site.
Also: Aaron is pretty sure he’s not concussed (at least that’s what he’s saying).
