So while we back at the Java Post office are freezing our whatzits off in frigid Regina, Saskatchewan, our boss shared this image with us, taken this morning on his walk along the beach in Maui. Words cannot express just how jealous we are. I mean, a rainbow, too? Like the sand, sun, surf, and sailboat wasn't enough? Someone get our travel agent on the line.

For today's "Throwback Thursday" post, we thought we'd share with you this poster that proudly hangs (or is it "hangs proudly"...well, it definitely hangs, we're certain about that) in the hallway at the Java Post Production office. It's from the first season of the Corner Gas television series, back in 2004. For fans of the show, you'll remember the first…

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,…

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…

No, Java Post Production staffer Randy Shumay wasn't involved in some horrific, back-breaking extreme sports accident, he's just strapped into a EasyRig Cinema 3 (courtesy of our pal, George Hupka at Downstream Pictures) for a shooting gig this weekend. With a RED Epic camera mounted on our DJI Ronin handheld stabilizing gimbal, Randy will be doing some camerawork for a Saskatchewan Union…
