RedPost/Box proto
Originally uploaded by eKan1
I’m all about the blog post titles that alliterate. This Friday’s photo is of our new RedPost/Box, the prototype of which just arrived (in a semi, believe it or not). This is the baby brother to the RedPost/Sign. It has the same motherboard and configuration as the Sign, just no LCD.

Web Service Wed: ThePoint.com

August 28th, 2008

Again, it’s Thu, but I’m sticking with the Wed name for this regular post.
I blogged about ThePoint.com before (their slogan: Make something happen), they’re based out of nearby Chicago. I started 1 campaign to bring a new restaurant to Downtown Goshen (we’re $1,870 pledged towards a goal of $10,000…) and have joined the campaign to [...]

August 28th, 2008

Last night we installed a sign at Mad Anthony’s Lake City Tap House in Warsaw, Indiana.  The sign will be used to display upcoming events at the Lake City Tap House, as well as select pictures from their flickr account, greetings for corporate events, and other local information.
“[RedPost] is taking Mad Anthony’s from low-tech to [...]

Laura Gouin Uses RedPost

August 28th, 2008

Sometimes I sit and think to myself “I know Laura Gouin runs Center Stage Academy and also works with New World Arts. I wonder how she publicizes all of the classes and performances.” After doing this weeks video, I know the answer. She advertises on RedPost!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watch the video and see for yourself and you [...]

Coda + Adium: Conspiracy theorists say “it’s just a coincidence”

August 26th, 2008

Ok, unless you’re a Mac user and use Coda and AdiumX, you’re not going to care about this post at all. But both released major updates in the past 24 hour period (coincidence???). Both updates include big improvements. Coda’s really growing up nicely. As is Adium. One question: how many different IM services do we [...]

Digital Signage Drama

August 26th, 2008

Back in 2006, Meijer started to roll out their digital signage network in most of their stores (Meijer is like a midwestern Wal-mart equivalent). Meijer used a digital signage solution by Wireless Ronin implemented by NewSight Corporation.
Today, Wireless Ronin announced that it’s taking control of Meijer’s network BACK from NewSight. From DigitalSignageToday:
“Our belief was that [...]

RedPost now on Facebook, CEO celebrates

August 25th, 2008

RedPost has a Facebook page, of course. But now, RedPost is an official network on Facebook. And today I officially made it my “primary” network.
