Their posters look awesome! (Some wire mold would help hide the cables.)

Also, on a side note, I worked for a website company in high school and designed an early version of Camp Hebron’s website (here’s the Internet archive version of it — check out that hot graphic design! I think there’s even an animated GIF). Funny how things come full circle.

Several of the residents I chatted with were excited — they use the bus a lot and hate waiting out in the cold.

And second is Niche/City Soles:

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 our pilot location for the Indiana Health Information Network.

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 sidewalk. Elkhart County’s new regulations don’t effect this sign, either, as we’re in the city, although, I’m not sure what their definition of “flashing” is, as ours doesn’t “flash” it “flips” between images.

Anyways, as I was walking home this though struck me: by my very unofficial count, the city of Goshen has approximately one digital sign for every 1,523 people. This is possibly one of the highest per capita number of digital signs anywhere in the world. “Facts” like these are better left unproven.

Woman: Wait, what’s that? It’s new isn’t it?

Man 1: Yeah, it’s this new thing they’re putting up, it has bus tracker on it (Man 1 gets up and goes over to the Sign, comes back and sits down)

Man 2: Cool, so it shows you when the bus is coming?

Man 1: Yeah, and it has other info on about local events and stuff.

Woman: (looking at the local Farmer’s Market poster) Wait, we have a farmer’s market? Where is that?

Man 2: Yeah, it’s over in the park.

Woman: Man, I need to get there.

With this anecdote submitted as evidence, yes, RedPost does work.

Thanks Mike for letting us use your basement. Next step — creating the new Promote website that downtown businesses can use to upload ads to the kiosk.

De Luca is my favorite, as it’s right next to the other posters on the wall and fits in well.

Our nice KIA rental, 28 MPG!

Smaller than I thought a “midsize SUV” would be.

Too bad that’s our old logo…

And I thought I couldn’t fit my bike.

As I mentioned, they remodeled their facility a year and a half ago and had the foresight to install a 28″ LG professional LCD in the lobby area to welcome guests, clients and vendors. However, until today, they didn’t have it hooked up to anything. Using a PIII Dell provided by Courier (an old desktop they shipped to RedPost), we installed Ubuntu and followed our own handy DIY instructions to customize it to run RedPost. Here’s the end result:

I’ll post more photos and some of their posters later. That’s Julie in the window.

The sign will be displaying video and information about Mechatronics Engineering Technology and the hands-on learning that takes place inside the lab. From Purdue Calumet’s Mechatronics web page:

This program prepares students to work as designers in the stable, exciting area of high speed packaging. A broad background in both electrical and mechanical areas along with internships will help you begin a great career designing, installing, and troubleshooting the complex equipment that produces and packages all of the items consumers purchase daily. The degree is also very valuable in the automotive and industrial areas as well. Graduates from this program are very mobile with career opportunities available nationwide.
