…will be when, at Digital Signage Expo, all signs such as the below will actually be digital. I’m just saying, there’s nothing as simple, quick to install, and cheap as paper. Note that the arrows on these signs swivel for maximum flexibility.
Here at Digital Signage Expo there’s a lot of talk about revolution. You see it on banners, brochures and of course on digital signs. But for the most part, besides being a bit bigger, there’s not too much revolutionary stuff on display. Some new (largely unavailable) display technology. Some more advanced technology (more evolutionary). Some [...]
At last, it’s happening. This is all over the Internet today, a message from Google to the world:
In order to continue to improve our products and deliver more sophisticated features and performance, we are harnessing some of the latest improvements in web browser technology. This includes faster JavaScript processing and new standards like HTML5. As [...]
LCD technology has been the work horse of the digital sign industry. Reliable, vibrant and in mass quantities cheap. But it’s made of glass, prone to breaking, has to be square and flat, uses lots of power and is incredibly expensive in really large sizes (think $60k for a 100″ display) and die after about [...]

I was at an all-day planning meeting today along with 200 or so other community leaders to launch “Horizon 2.0“, a new phase of the Horizon Project which was completed in 2003. It’s a great plan, but the devil’s in the implementation. Some good speakers, including the former mayor of Indianapolis, Bart Peterson; Bob Jorth, [...]
From an excellent article by David Leonhardt in the NY Times, emphasis mine (hat tip: The Daily Dish):
Either way, the job market will still be in terrible shape. The unemployment rate, at 9.8 percent in September, could conceivably hit 10 percent for the first time since 1983. When that happens, some economists are bound to [...]
Do you like that 5 word 44 character name? It is a bit long. That aside, RedPost is in Indy today at the annual meeting of the Indiana Private Health Care Association. Don Yost (that’s him in the photo below) is heading up this initiative, based on his work at the Maple City Health Care [...]
I posted a couple weeks ago about emergence, a phenomenon best defined as collective action that is greater than any of the individual parts (think a school of fish or flock of birds: there’s no leader, yet they all move in the same direction and are better defended from predators that way).
This is along those [...]
I recently finished a book about called Bucky Works which is a fascinating introduction into the life and ideas of Buckminster Fuller, who was roughly 100 years ahead of his time. Ideas about sustainability, design and approach that apply to pretty much any industry and technology — and are just now gaining traction. Here’s the [...]
