Friday Fun Facts
Today Carsten and I wanted to reveal a fun fact about ourselves that you might not know. Checkout this video and then leave a comment about your Friday Fun Fact that we don’t know! Have a great weekend!
This video was a little longer and so I chopped it down. Enjoy!
Our last post on thinking differently received some great comments. Thank you! We love having a conversation with you.

Carsten thinks he didn’t sound OK for his part. I think it’s alright… what do you think?

I think you need less beer, more ski shots!

Fun fact about me? I won a sandsculpting competition in Atlantic City back in high school. I don’t remember what I built, but it was awesome

Michael Scott has nothing on Carsten…

Hmmm… I’m a “naked” blogger so there isn’t much out there people don’t know about me. Lessee. Even asked hubby and he’s having trouble thinking of something.
I love writing HTML code from scratch. I don’t know why, and no one does it anymore, but I love it. I can disappear into the code and not surface for hours.

@Stephen It’s my new goal to make a custom video of beer while skiing, just for you.

Looks like you needed a big beer after that fall. Enjoy those fresh tracks next week - I am jealous. I’ll be there Pres. Weekend, leave some brownie mix for me bro…

@Carsten - if you are Michael Scott, does that make Kendall Dwight Schrute or maybe Andy Bernard? Unfortunately he cannot sing, nor does he grow beets.

@cecily I love it! I learned HTML via Laura Lemay’s book Teach Yourself HTML (published June 1, 1996) and it was all in notepad. Flashback to when I was just 15. wow…

My first entrepreneurial experience was an online radio station I started in high school (now 5 years ago) called Ravium Radio. We played dance music, similar to what http://www.di.fm does today.

I’m actually a dual British/American citizen. My Mom is from Liverpool and my Dad from Philly. If you know anything about those two cities you’ll recognize them being very compatible in their rough reputations. Which makes me totally Bad A$$

Hmm, A Friday Fun Fact about me? How about this one? One of my majors in college was Theater. Since I was the smallest person in the department, I got to play all of the children’s roles, including 2 different little boy parts (those were costuming challenges!)and a robot fireman.

@Gloria A robot fireman? Really? Label me impressed!

@Anderson: Dwight is actually my favorite Character - Kenny can be quite ’schruty’ from time to time - i’ll promote him to assistant regional founder

Kendall - MAD SKILLS!
ShowClix Friday Fun Fact: Sometimes, in the middle of a meeting, Josh and I might stop and do yoga. Or at least pretend like we are graceful. Check it out: http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-snc1/v838/160/87/593228644/n593228644_1279242_6493.jpg.
Now that’s TRUE grace

@Lynsie: i saw your picture and had to go into a downward-dog right away to relax a bit…
January 9th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Whenever Carsten does yoga in the office I get scared a bit.

I won the School Prize for English my first year in Middle School and my Senior Year in High School but actually scored higher marks in Economics.

I’m a vegetarian and a chocoholic! Food is a central part of my life — I love to cook and eat. I read cookbooks like novels and I even watch Emeril! Bam!

I’ve got one more for you all. Sometimes when I listen to country music I miss my home in Kansas.

My fun fact is that I look almost completely chinese, but I’m a mix of Chinese and Panamanian. Also, my grandfather immigrated to Panama from China with the last name Lee, but when he got there it changed to Checa. No one really knows why or how.
