nebby

Nebby was talking me through the intent behind the Punkt MP02’s minimalist design when, without warning, he threw his personal phone to the ground, then picked it up, and texted his wife about Belgian potatoes.

The hardware design, Nebby tells me, is basically set.

Nebby says of the MP02’s interface that “every pixel is designed,” and it feels that way.

Nebby puts the idea nicely when he says, “if there’s no indicator, that means everything is fine.”

For Curtis, the dinner was an extension of the Pittsburgh concept of “nebby,” local slang that means “nosy,” but also conveys a sense of concern for neighbors.
