The Legend of SP Rollermonkey
The origins of the Rollermonkey go back to 1988.
In that year, we were on a family outing; my wife and I plus our two kids, aged 5 and 8. Garrett, our older child, was exploring the site of a hill behind our home in the Virginia foothills. Somewhere near the top of the small rise he found an object like a huge ball bearing. He came running down the hill to show us and wanted to know what it was.
It was about an inch and a half in diameter and shiny with small spots of rust. Well, I had no idea what it was so I told him it was a Rollermonkey's Eyeball.
Of course, this just prompted more questions about what Rollermonkeys were. That evening for his bedtime story I told him the story of the Rollermonkeys; invisible, mischief loving "monkeys" that rolled on rollers instead of walking.
Years later I needed a name for my new company and Rollermonkey fit the bill.
