TV peek-a-boo

Apr 23 2013
chelsey

Andrew bought an 80'' flat screen for our 10 foot wide meeting room. it's great for presenting new concepts to clients and after hours socializing but it commands the attention of the whole room and can be rather distracting. To solve this problem, Andrew and Graham spent an afternoon constructing a screen to cover the TV while it's not in use. Not their forté by any means, it's serving it's purpose and clients don't really notice when we meet in there now.

Having said that, nearly everyone asks what the permanent solution is. Just trying to take our rapid prototyping process to the real world...

Today we are shooting the profile photos for the people section of the website. It gets tough when we want to try to add interactivity to everything that we do, but we figured out a way. Stay tuned.

Our Office (another update)

Jan 2 2013

It's the first day back after the holidays and our office is almost usable again with freshly painted walls, a bright white ceiling and a newly laid fir floor. Hopefully the floors will be sanded and stained early next week so that we can move out of the coffee shop we've taken over.

Our First Christmas Party

Dec 13 2012
andrew

The Christmas bash was organized - They’d settled on a night - The hall was decked with bells and lights - It was truly a festive sight

They cast aside their inhibitions - As the alcohol started to flow - And forgot their initial reluctance - As to why they bothered to go

It didn’t take long for the first one - To ruin her promotional chances - By constantly berating the boss - For refusing to get up for dances

The traditional Christmas party - Has been the ruin of many career - All for the sake of a word or two! - Uttered after a few pints of beer

You’ll wake up the following morning - With a hammering in your brain - You may not remember anything - Which in turn will drive you insane!

Merry Christmas from Mellenger Interactive

Our Office (update)

Stopped by the office last week to see if it would be suitable for an office party. I was really hoping it would happen but we gave up and made other plans. It's for the best, in retrospect i can see that filings clients lungs with drywall dust and having them dance around piles of construction waste is not my best idea.

Disco ball (holiday festive ball?) remains intact though.

Working in the Unconventional

Nov 5 2012
chelsey

Due to the overwhelmingly deafening noise of drills, jackhammers and smashing concrete, we’ve recently decided to temporarily abandon our Vancouver office space. Although this maddening process will lead to a much-needed upgrade, our loft is, at the moment, unmanageable.

We moved into a shared office space located inside the New Westminster River Market where we can work in silence. The space is clean and well located but there are a few unexpected quirks.

For one, located directly across from our office is a circus school. The school holds daily classes for aerial silks, trampoline, aerial hoops, trapeze, juggling, and unicycle. I have yet to see anyone attempt a unicycle but watching people fall gracefully down the blue silk ribbons is quite the sight.

Then there are the nude sketches boldly lined up on every wall of our office. In our semi-private alcove there are 15 of these eclectic drawings, all for sale, and all done by a member of an art group studying the human body. We’re slowly getting used to people wondering in to browse at the art over our heads.

We thought we left the unconventional at 3rd on 3rd – thankfully, we were wrong.

Office Porchetta

Sep 18 2012

Have you ever had porchetta? It’s a pork lover’s dream. Tender pork-loin heavily seasoned with a garlic fennel puree is snuggly tucked in a fatty sheath of pigskin and roasted to perfection. Now speaking from experience, not even those who prefer broccoli over bacon can resist this juicy Italian dish.

Have you ever cooked porchetta in a convection oven in the middle of your office? Andrew Mellenger has.

Early one morning, while the rest of us guzzled down coffee and stared at our emails, Andrew blended fennel. The plan was to have an indulgent team lunch but the porchetta reached prime-chow-time by 10:30 in the morning. We did what any well-trained employees would do; readied our plates and stuffed freshly baked buns with thick slices of porchetta - it was delicious.
