Thinking Inside the Box
“To be perfectly honest, we’re not likely what you might expect. No linguists. No social scientists. Not really anyone on-board with the proper credentials to create a new communications system. Rather, an assembly of can-do creative types, a mix-match of rock climbers, golfers, skiiers, graphic designers, videographers, an attorney who wears hiking shoes to work and another who runs marathons; a former high school physics professor, uber geeks and business freaks. That’s us, in a nut shell. —Kai Staats, May 2010
