It's nice to see that our boss, "Java Jack" Tunnicliffe, is maintaining a healthy lifestyle while he's on vacation. That tall, cool, refreshing umbrella drink must contain lots of good, wholesome things. Why, there's a slice of fresh pineapple right there on the rim of the glass. That drink is practically a salad already! And we're sure there are healthy juices in there,…

We borrowed the silly rhyming scheme from the 1964 Shirley Ellis classic pop song "The Name Game" to title this news post about some "dronies" (AKA selfies taken with a drone) we captured not too long ago when we were out doing a test flight with our new DJI Inspire 1 quadcopter drone. (Click on the "related project" video above to watch the test flight.) Below you…

With this Saskatchewan winter feeling like it may never end, and the coming of spring taking on an almost mythic, bygone-age status, our boss "Java Jack" has found the best way to cope is with a liberal dose of Maui island life: sun, sand, and drinks with little umbrellas in them. Being the thoughtful guy that he is, Jack sent along the morning view from his room for the Java staff to…

Thursday, February 26th, 2015. Somewhere near Bethune, Saskatchewan, Canada. The ambient temperature is minus 30 degrees Celsius (minus 22 Fahrenheit), with an added wind-chill factor that makes it feel like a whopping minus 40 degrees Celsius (which conveniently translates to minus 40 Fahrenheit, for our US friends). In conditions like this, any exposed skin can freeze in as little as 10 minutes.…

Last Friday, Mark Melnychuk of the Regina Leader-Post visited the Java Post offices to interview our boss, "Java Jack" Tunnicliffe, on the subject of drones - or UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles, as we like to call them). Mark's timing was perfect, as we had just received the newest addition to the Java Post Aerial Photography drone squadron - a DJI Inspire 1 model. So we were able to…

On Wednesday this week, the Java Post Aerial Photography crew headed out to Moose Jaw to capture some scenic shots of Moose Jaw for The Sports Network (TSN). Moose Jaw is hosting the Scotties "Tournament of Hearts" Canadian Women's Curling Championships and TSN wanted some aerial shots of the arena and some local landmarks. The footage will be used throughout the broadcast - in the…

Anyone who knows our boss, "Java Jack" Tunnicliffe, knows that he's an athletic supporter. Wait. That line didn't come out right. What we mean to say is that Jack enjoys keeping fit, particularly with a good game of squash. He's never happier than when he has a squash racquet in his hand. And don't let his knee-brace fool you. Jack has been known to wipe the court with…

Happy Birthday to our boss, "Java Jack" Tunnicliffe, who turns mumblemumble years of age tomorrow! The Java staff gathered in the boardroom to scarf down delicious apple strudel and listen to Jack tell stories of the good old days, when his staff still feared him and didn't dare eat all his strudel. Above, from left, facing camera: Trevor Bennett, Jack, and Joan Speirs. Above, from…
