I just got out of a meeting with one of our suppliers, MOR/Ryde, located in nearby Elkhart. MOR/ryde manufactured our original RedPost/Kit and now makes pieces of our RedPost/Sign (the backplate and powder-coats the frames) and our Sign/Post. It’s been awhile since I’ve stopped by, as orders have been slow the past year, but I’m [...]
Based out of New York, Echoing Green is essentially a venture capital firm supporting social entrepreneurs. They also have a RedPost/Kit sculpture in their lobby. Just minutes ago, they announced their 2009 Fellows, all of them “ready to spark change around the world, in areas such as civil and human rights, education and youth leadership, [...]
It has been college week here at RedPost. Yesterday morning we installed one of the first of what is our new 32″ Sign/Kit product (shipping soon) at Goshen College’s Roman Gingerich Recreational Fitness Center, RFC for short. The RFC has a problem — they post 8.5×11″ paper notices on the doors about track closings, schedule [...]
ONE DAY ONLY! Ok, not really, FIVE DAYS ONLY! The brains behind the RedPost/Kit, the MicroClient Jr. (which ultimately proved not powerful enough as far as processor and memory for video capability, but still served it’s purpose well and is a real workhorse). No moving parts. No fans. Just a mainboard, 128MB memory, wifi card [...]
Before I even legally formed RedPost in Feb ’07, waaaay back in Nov ’06, I began looking for hardware that fit what I saw as a huge opportunity in the marketplace. All I wanted was a simple, 19-20″ LCD with a built-in PC for under $1,000. I ended up piecing one together with an old [...]
From OhGizmo: I have to say that the RedPost Sign (beta) is certainly a fun product to use, mostly because it’s rather out of the ordinary, and can be used for a variety of purposes other than simply displaying your pictures. Of course, with a price tag of $599, it would need to have all [...]
This is from the “un-press release” I sent out just now to the blogosphere. That’s right, the entire blogosphere. All of it. Every. Last. Blog. Here she is. The star of the show: The Story On June 18, 2007, we launched the RedPost/Kit, a do-it-yourself, linux-based digital photo frame, described by one blogger as a [...]
What a crazy week. Is it Friday yet? I leave Sat morning for San Francisco where I’ll be next week for the grand opening of The Bently Reserve. They’re installing some of the first of our new Signbeta‘s ever to be installed in the public. How did they get these Signs if we’re not even [...]
And I’m starting to freak out. Not really. Maybe a little bit. It’s only our first major trade show. And it’s only costing us more money than I just spent on my 2000 VW Jetta diesel. It feels like the week right before every theater production I’ve been involved with (I think I’ve been involved [...]
One week from today will be the one year birthday of RedPost inc. It’s been a crazy year, nothing like what I could have expected. To celebrate the one week before our one year birthday, and in honor of every self-pic ever taken, I took a self-pic of myself with our new Sign prototype, which [...]
