Yesterday was recycling day here at RedPost, with ADEC coming to pick up our e-waste and BetterWorld Books emptying out our book recycling bin we host. ADEC picked up 7 CPUs, 12 TVs, 22 CRTs, 24 printers, 10 VCR/DVD players/stereos, 3 microwaves and a host of other electronics. BetterWorld Books collected well over 100 books [...]
For the second time in a month, the little town of Goshen made it into the Chicago Trib with a short mention of our 3rd annual Fire & Ice Festival. Here’s a photo of the RedPost ice sculpture, an attempt at recreated the CTA Bus Tracker logo:
It’s kinda hard to see and not that well [...]
We upgraded the RedPost/Sign at Maple City Health Care Clinic from this:
To this, a 26″ Sign/Kit (26″ LCD + fit-PC2):
MCHCC just completed a massive renovation and second floor addition to their facility. It’s a huge improvement, with much better traffic flow, a larger waiting room, and new carpet/paint (no more wallpaper!). The new Sign is [...]
We just posted this ad across the RedPost/Goshen network:
Check it out next weekend, right after First Fridays, of course.
This summer, RedPost developed a Ruby on Rails website for Downtown Goshen. We just went live last week — you can check it out here. A good start, but like all Rails apps, lots of room to grow!
Some of the features of the website:
lists detailed information on over 14 events held in downtown Goshen, with [...]
Last night, on my way home from work, I took this photo. I’ve helpfully circled the kiosk where we have a RedPost installed:
Isaiah and I joined Dave Pottinger, who’s almost 80 and in much better shape than most 40yo’s, in rotating the kiosk so that the screen faces the street; before, it was facing the [...]
If anyone in Goshen has ever complained there’s nothing to do here, they simply need to look at one of the RedPost signs around town to know there’s actually way too much to do here. We currently have 16 posters running, all submitted through the goshen.theredpost.com website. Here’s a sampling of 8 of them. Everything [...]
I spent my Saturday morning (finally) installing a RedPost/Box inside the building beside the kiosk located in Downtown Goshen — it had been installed outside and was not connected to the internet. We pulled a VGA cable through some conduit buried beneath the side walk and I just hadn’t been able to get everything hooked [...]
One thing I love about the emerging web world is that there are no longer these huge 1.0, 2.0 etc. feature releases. While there are occasional large upgrades to websites, usually, new features come as they’re developed. Like WalkScore’s new comparison feature which tells you what your score is like relative to the rest of [...]
I took this photo last night as I was putting out “street closed” signs for First Fridays. It looks pretty cool! I can’t wait to get the actual content up and running on the display, it’ll look much better.
