About Impulse Arc
Impulse Arc LLC is a California studio building small, carefully made products, each meant to do one thing well: Wavelength, a circadian light meter and coach for iPhone; Sunsets by Ambleway, tonight's sky scored and the walks that reach a view of it; Continuo.fm, lossless sharing for musicians' mixes and masters; and Absurdly Optimized, rigorous reviews and calculators.
It is run by Ben Kazez, a concert singer who earlier created FlightTrack and founded Mobiata, acquired by Expedia in 2010. Fuller background is on the about page. Absurdly Optimized also keeps its own press page.
