![]() The Briqs have specific characteristic as a monetary system. We called our currency “briqs” because we are startup builders. The second reason is that, in a startup, everyone shall have a sense of business: the Briqs appeal to each of our inner Warren Buffet.įinally, it was a cool tool to build, on technologies we love: Slack’s API - our communication system - and Meteor - a JS framework. It’s no coincidence if one of children’s favorite game is playing shop. We invented a virtual currency to exchange rewards, thankyous and congrats with your colleagues.įirst and foremost, because it’s fun. It all became clear when we got the check at the end of dinner and Thibaud decided to pay for dinner to thank us for our good work: we would build a new way of saying ‘thanks’ in our community. Yet, it felt like saying ‘thanks for you help’ the “regular” way wasn’t enough. We’ve already built a set of tools and a mindset called the Network that enables us to keep in touch and communicate real time through Slack. It also means that maintaining healthy ties among all of the teams is a challenge. It is a great reservoir of talents and offers great opportunities for collaboration and experience sharing. In our startup studio, we have built 9 startups as of today, which means 150 people throughout the world ( and more coming up). Didier, our Creative Partner, and Thibaud, our co-founder, were discussing the importance of giving “Thanks” to your co-workers, and how it can change the way you enjoy your work on a daily basis. And how we use it todayĮverything started around a dinner table. Thank god for beer and patient guests here is the pron.This is the story of how we’ve built a virtual currency for our teams. I will order a new door assembly Monday from Weber and put the 18" on CL if a friend does not buy it. Oh and I decided I need more room.so I ordered a 22" WSM today. We had fun, ribs were not the prettiest.but damn good! Well i got through the cook, the door finally fell apart again at the end of the cook and controlling temps was a PITA. I ended up starting a brand new fire in the WSM and got it going again. So after electrical tape, multiple wall anchors, foil and short of a welder I remeber using toothpicks to shore up an enlarged strap button on my guitar - BINGO!!!! "Oh a wall anchor.maybe that will work?". Time to fix the door.no screws I had were large enough in diameter to bite in to the plastic since I lost the threaded insert and bolt in the coals and fishing through raging coals was out of the question at this point! Shut the vent's on the kettle so I could save the coals. Remove the cover from the kettle and dump the coals in there, melting my leather gloves in the process. So I remove the center section, of course with the lump this fire just starts RAGING! I need to fix the door, so I decide this fire is too hot now. ![]() About an hour later I check the fire as it dropped in temp.open the door and I hear a "CLUNK" as the handle falls away from the door I get back from the depot fire up the WSM, trim the ribs and throw them on. It was loose, not like factory and it got me through the cook.įast forward to yesterday (yeah I know this is long.why I said grab a beer - it get's better I promise!) I found the Handle in the garden below our deck and grabbed the parts from the drawer and reassembled. ![]() ![]() So I go to do a cook 2 weeks later, pull off my cover and realize the handle to the door is GONE - WTF? I told him " hey the keys are in the bottom silver pan on the cooker - see it?" I get back home and I see some nuts/bolts/parts on the deck."What's this, I don't recognize this?" - throw them in the drawer just in case. I put the keys in the heat shield of the WSM which has an aftermarket cover. Let me back track for a minute though.we went on vacation a month ago and our landlord was going to do some work in our bathroom while we were away. I get up early and make a run to the Restaraunt Depot and pick up a cryo 3 pk of ribs to cook and a nice 13# Angus packer for Memorial Day weekend along with some RO Lump #since a fellow Bretheren MattCom recommended it to me#. My wife does not dig ribs too much so I figure I will cook up some ribs and have a lil' get together in the backyard as it was a beautiful day. My wife was out of town for the weekend and my father's and my GSD's birthday happen to fall on the same day. Well Bretheren, grab a cold one and enjoy this tale of hilarity (well a day later to me it is anyhow) ![]()
