Talat’s Baby Will Be A Girl!

Friday, August 10th, 2007

Last night, Talat gave birth to his first blog post on our team blog.

More importantly, Talat’s wife is giving birth to a GIRL! The baby is still in incubation, and will launch into Beta in November.

Congratulations Talat! I remember you told me you want to get more women involved in mathematics, now you have your chance.

Talat, our mathematician, pictured above, fighting fit and able. It was taken from our recent MindVallley Retreat to Langkawi Islands (illustrated in the video below)

  • Is that the best picture you have of me?

Well, this is as good as it gets…

Why Are We On A Malaysian Reality TV Show?

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Donald Trump & Simon Cowell take a backseat as Mike, Vishen and Jiangti of MindValley judge the business presentation of a Malaysian boy… if MindValley likes him enough, he is one step closer to $50,000 to kickstart the business / career of his/her dreams.

Will the boy impress the MindValley team? Watch the video and tell us!

UPDATE: Hannu’s got some “behind the scenes” pics, and a writeup (in Finnish) here.

We Take Our Fights Outside The Office

Monday, April 16th, 2007

We made a vow to meet at the break of dawn. TheCurve. Sunday.

What for? To fight. A 9km run.

Was it for charity? No. Was it in support of a marketing ploy by an oil company? Indirectly. But as far as Mike, Vishen, Talat, Khailee, David, Katalina, and Khalid were concerned… it was a fight… to the finish line.

The trash talking wasn’t about saliva. It was about bloodshed.

To add to the carnage, we were up against their own worst enemies… our out-of-shape bodies!

The results? Khailee has the full story, pictures and the works, on his blog.

Rewarding Top Performers - The MindValley Way

Monday, February 26th, 2007

We love rewarding hardworking members of our team.
The first person to give in to fatigue, or insanity, gets a bag of rice. That’s right folks. You can share it with the family, too. We also care about our employee’s families.
Here at MindValley, we’re serious about treating employees well. Just like illegal sweatshops in China.

Getting Comfortable with MindValley

Aslak in shorts, socks, sandals, snacks and a train of beanbags. What will he wear on “casual Fridays”?

Sacred Curly Bamboo Plant Cannot Be Saved

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Today, while doing his morning in-office exercise, Vishen knocked over our sacred curly bamboo plant.

We did everything we could ( Ctrl+Z , Google it, put it on ClickMuse etc…) but nothing worked.

The broken glass and scattered pebbles are now a permanent feature of our office.
