The GCI studio has a new low tech tool that sparks imagination and deep thought. This tool has been used for years by millions from classrooms to boardrooms.

Did you guess a whiteboard?

But the GCI whiteboard is not any ordinary whiteboard. Every day or so, interesting and thought-provoking questions appear on the board. When a team member has the time in between cranking out awesome work, they stop to ponder the question, write their unique answers among their fellow collegues’ and sometimes, they provide an illustration to either further their argument or just for fun.

GCI’s whiteboard has sparked intense debates, hilarious drawings and most importantly, strengthen the GCI team bond.

April Fool’s Day is a great day here at GCI. A great day for Paul and Jenny, who enjoy pulling a good prank on their fellow colleagues. We all had our morning filled with funky computer issues and unexplainable events. All but Jenny and Paul of course.

That is until late in the afternoon, Donnie found himself with a roll of duct tape in his hand. Paul had scooted his way over to Connie’s desk to collaborate on a project when the idea stuck Donnie to get the ultimate prankster back for all his misdoings. He silently planned his attack and waited for the right moment. As soon as Paul’s back was turned, Donnie, nick named the Punisher, unleashed a furry of silver ribbon that caught Paul completely off guard. Cheers erupted in the office as everyone watched as Paul tried to squirm his way to freedom. After a few seconds of trying to free himself, Paul decided to give up and allow Donnie to finish his mission of duct taping him to his chair. Roars of laughter then echoed GCI’s office walls when Paul scooted himself back to his desk nicely attached to his chair.

There are two morals to this tale: One, April Fool’s Day at GCI is guaranteed fun and secondly, watch your back after messing with the Punisher.
