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 [...]
There’s now a nice, shiny, new book donation drop-off bin right outside RedPost’s production facility here in Goshen. Donations go to BetterWorld Books, a for-profit social enterprise with proceeds going to local, national and international literacy efforts all over the world. Check it out:
We’re testing out a nice, new high brightness 32″ sunlight-readable LCD on demo from Landmark Technology, Inc. Here’s a photo from the front of BetterWorld Books, the bookstore we’re located in here in Goshen:
The screen has a nice auto-dimming feature, so at night, it’s not glaringly bright. However, we still have a major glare issue [...]
I had a substantial meeting in this building today in Chicago that went quite well. The pilot program for this project is now set to launch mid-September, after almost 2 years in the works. I am, if nothing else, a patient person.
Bonus points if you can identify the building.
We’ve got a new friend visiting us at RedPost World HQ for the next month or so:
It’s an HP LD4200 LCD (specs) built for use as a digital sign. High brightness, 1920×1080 full HD resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio — a really nice display.
We’re going to be doing some fairly unscientific market research with the HP [...]
This week, we moved into our new world headquarters, conveniently located right below our old office headquarters. Our shop remains where it is. Why the move? Well, to survive the current downturn, we’ve had to make some hard decisions and scale back a bit here at RedPost. We’ve cut staff time and downsized the office [...]
RedPost was in front of the local Board of Zoning Appeals this past Tuesday afternoon for a variance request to do our light assembly work in the building we’ve been doing it in for the past almost 2 years. From the Goshen News:
Following the church variance vote, board members heard a variance request from RedPost [...]
I’ve lost track of our World HQ versioning…and the shop and office have now diverged, making it more complicated, but we spent the day yesterday moving our shop to the front of the building we’re in. It’s a much nicer space with tons of light and only one minor defect: it has no heat (we’re [...]
It’s been 11 days since I last blogged — my longest blogging break ever since starting this blog on February 6, 2007. I spent a few days with family, had a great New Year’s Eve here in Goshen and worked throughout…I just didn’t feel like blogging. It’s a nice break though, between the “old, outdated, [...]
Hannah’s purple post inspired me to share some of my photos from this week so far. Sunday, on my return trip from Chicago, I stopped by the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and hiked a bit. It was…cold. And completely deserted. And windswept. And very recharging, for me:
This is from Monday night, in Goshen. Yes, it’s [...]
