Short of going to all the…

Pull out the plates and fork out the..well, the forks, I guess...because it's cake time at Java Post Production! The occasion is the birthday of our own Randy Shumay. Happy birthday, Randy. You can eat cake and do those client changes at the same time, can't you? Randy's birthday cake arrived in our boardroom with pyrotechnic dazzle. Trevor just stayed cautiously near the doorway,…

One of our Java Post Production team was recently featured in a cover story for QC Magazine, here in Regina, Saskatchewan. Regina is known as the Queen City, so that's the "QC" part of the magazine title.

However, our crew faced the sunshine - literally -…

Java Post UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle)…
