Slowly back in Monkey Business
It’s the time of the year that the Finnish summer gets warm and people get back to work. I wonder why our holidays tend to start from midsummer and end by the early August. Anyways here we are. But now worries it ain’t serious. Let’s start with a looong meeting over coffee, then go for lunch and ice cream. We had ice creams at the kiosk owned by three guys from Team Academy. They don’t take their business too seriously. Somebody went and did a tag on their wall but boys just added a little note under it saying… Well, see below for the photo.
Also I got a picture of Janne and Tatu. Here we go! Tonight we’ll have some crepes at Janne’s place and I am looking forward to that. Janne and Tatu had a good talk about if we should define our products or not. Janne made a connection to restaurant that also has a menu, so we started to talk about menu of Monkey Business.
Janne and Tatu.
And last, there’s a nice video I found through Makenubs videoblog which I originally found through Demos Helsinki Blog. I like it a lot, both the dance and the song. It’s something by Brodinski and Noob. I think we’ll use this video somewhere someday. Good stuff, enjoy!

I strongly believe that memories are the only possessions we should collect during our lives. Yesterday Ville talked about blog writing and refered it a bit: “are we happy with sharp drill bits in our rack or happy cos´ borrowed them to a friend”. So in Monkey Business we are sometimes taking it to – More >

Old finnish saying says that it´s better to have one goose in backpack than ten flying free. So here I go. Strongly believing that one posted writing is better than ten unposted. In a way that is how all started in Monkey Busines. No business idea. A lot of questions, small and bigger ones. Or More >

X-mas Calender day 13 – What is this Monkey Business?

That´s THE question. Here are some quotes from people whom we have met while chewing bananas: *Experienced Business Coach, woman: “Monkey Business is formed around easy customers who buy what ever these Monkeys sell.” *Senior Business Coach, man: ” Monkey Business is nothing, it´s just a tribe of fifty people or so.” *Manager for International Affairs, More >

hmm I liked the connection with a menu of a restaurant, but then I started thinking how it works in the best restaurants.
Here in San Sebastian, we have 2 restaurants that are in the top 10 restaurants in the world (Mugaritz 4th and Arzak 8th, http://www.theworlds50best.com/module/acms_winners?group_id=1). But then I went further and checked the best one in the world: El Bulli, maybe an hour or 2 from Barcelona (http://www.elbulli.com/)
what do they have in common?can you see the menu they currently offer in the webpage? NO! they might show the dishes or pieces of art they have created. In El bulli you can see what they offered the previous years…what is the difference between the list Ville did in the previous post and this way of presenting their products?
You know it’s gonna be galactic food, a whole experience worth paying 200€…but you don’t know what you are going to eat if you go with your friends tonight.
