I'm the founder of PopSockets. My day includes long forest walks and drinking a green tea-coffee combo I call 'graffee.'

I was once a philosophy professor at the University of Colorado, and I was frustrated with my headset tangling every time I went to make a call on my phone. So I drove to a nearbyJoann Fabrics store and glued a couple of huge clothing buttons to the back of my tiny little iPhone so I could wrap my headset around them. I got made fun of for how ridiculous it was, but over the course of about a year and many, many prototypes, I miniaturized it, and eventually launched a business out of my garage in the mountains of Boulder in 2014.

Decentralizing quality

When it comes to software, we like to pretend that quality is a number. Dashboards stand in for judgment, A/B tests stand in for taste, and leaders try to will excellence into existence with reviews and mandates. But in today's software market, confusing a KPI with quality isn't just naive; it's fatal. Consumers' attention spans are short, but their expectations are higher than ever; if your product fails to solve a real problem in an elegant way, you don't get a second chance.

The wheel operates silently, eliminating the visual and auditory distractions that often accompany digital timers. Once the time is set, the timer counts down mechanically, giving a clear visual cue as the hand moves toward zero. This physical movement is intended to keep the user aware of the passing time in a way that a flashing digital display cannot.
