Where Goldfish Come From
By leelefever on October 23, 2009 - 11:17am
A couple of months ago, I presented a 5 minute presentation at Ignite Seattle called "Where Goldfish Come From" that is based on my experience growing up as a son of a goldfish farmer in North Carolina. The Ignite series happens around the globe and each presenter has 20 slides that display for 15 seconds each, and auto-advance. It's a challenge to make it work, but I enjoy it.
Here's the video:

Goldfish presentation
Enjoyed the goldfish presentation.
I was interested to read about the "Ignite" concept. In our grad class we are doing presentations based on the Pecha Kucha concept. It is similar in that there are 20 slides, each 20 seconds long. Pecha Kucha is Japanese for "chit chat" as I understand it.
Thanks again for sharing.
Nice job!
Great presentation, Lee.

Very Interesting
I did not know that Gold fish came from China. Nice to know!
My husband was a fish fanatic from his younger days and used to keep many varieties of fish, mostly goldfish and carp which he would feed and sell thereby earning his pocket money. When we got married we had a small tank with gold fish. We then decided to build our own house and one part of our wall in our sitting room is a 10 foot tank but he swore that he would never have goldfish in them because they are eating-pooing machines thereby making the tank high maintenance. So we have different kinds of loaches instead. I must admit that goldfish are very pretty and very colourful though and have been trying to convince him to have some but no way is his answer.
I absolutely love the koi carp because the are so beautiful but they are very difficult to come by in our country and if you do they are so extremely expensive.
The butterfly koi too seem to be pretty interesting!!!
