“Does every business have a RedPost?”

July 3rd, 2009

Overheard this morning at the County Seat Cafe, while I was working on one of our 19″ RedPost/Signs there that’s part of our local RedPost/Goshen advertising network: Does every business have a RedPost? First, I’m glad the brand is being well-communicated, as said person (who I didn’t recognize) knew that what I was doing was [...]

Check out these photos (thanks Thushan) of 6 RedPost/Signs installed in Goshen College’s creative booth at the Mennonite Church USA convention.

My Jetta TDI (Turbocharged Direct Injection) is having issues, in that the turbo, created by a turbocharger (pictured at right), is no longer working. The turbocharger takes compressed air and a lot of gas and, like the name says, injects a turbo boost into the engine, giving my TDI a nice little boost from about [...]

Reading Partnership

May 20th, 2009

I’m volunteering this morning for my Mom, who’s an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher in an inner city school district in Lancaster, PA. She’s planned this big event for her ESL students to read to elementary school students, which is no small task, as a lot of them didn’t know how to read [...]

RedPost in the Wild: Calvin College

May 14th, 2009

I visited Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, today to check out their RedPost installation.

It’s an incredible facility — 50 meter pool, [...]

RedPost on FitPC Slim

April 14th, 2009

This little guy was running at a trade show for condo and apartment owners in Chicago last week. It’s a Fit-PC Slim (they now have the new Fit-PC2); a sub-$300 mini-pc connected to a 15″ LCD. The new Fit-PC2 has HDMI output which is even cooler (the Slim has VGA output): We’re thinking about becoming [...]
