Hello Friend

As someone currently mired in the “Do I want to pay increased rent or do I want to move for the sixth time in eight years?” stage of urban life, I’d like to think I speak with a certain amount of expertise in saying the following: Moving sucks.

The actual process will probably never not suck, but it can suck less. Which is where my friend Bobby’s startup comes in. Aptly named Redi-Box, Bobby’s is a company that ships eco-friendly plastic moving containers to your house in advance of your move. After you’re done moving, Redi-Box-programmed robots — or probably just humans, but it’d be awesome if robots were somehow involved — pick those containers up. It’s that simple. 

At the risk of sounding too much like that Jupiter Jack dude (not Billy Mays, but the other guy, the British one, whatever his name is), you should probably try this out. Even if Bob wasn’t a friend, a former dormmate, and a fellow Indiana intramural soccer champion (2007; I still have the t-shirt), I would still think his idea is brilliant. Because it is. So, you know, check it out.
