Time for a little bit of a break since it's a Friday. There's more to life out there than just cranking out work and doing things that make you money. How about doing things that don't necessarily give you monetary gains but provide happiness instead? Wouldn't it be great if you could do both? I don't think it's possible to find another company that embodies this motto better than Synn Labs, recently featured in Fast Company.
Known for creating great contraptions that fascinate the mind (Cue "OOOoOoo" and "Aaahh..." noises), they've worked with everyone from Google, Disney, Sears and the band OK Go (See clip above for their music video "This Too Shall Pass"). They describe themselves as "A drinking club with an art problem", but I think my favorite quote in the magazine comes from cofounder and designer Doug Campbell, who said, "We've shot flame balls in the air, trained hamsters, played with Slinkys, and built rockets. That's a week at the office."
The magazine notes that the flame balls were strictly for their own amusement.
Happy Friday!
