New Cruise Ship Features 305 Foot LED Barrel Ceiling

Moving to a coastal city that’s a tourist magnet means I now see giant cruise ships all summer and fall when we get down to the harbor. Some days, there are as many as five ships docked in Halifax.

16:9: A Quick Look At New Digital Signage In Downtown San Francisco

I was in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago to see all the Samsung/PrismView LED and smart displays at the new Chase Center, but I also had a couple of free hours to have a quick look around. I’ve seen the LED displays in the lobbies of the cluster of Salesforce office towers downtown, but I’d not seen what was done in the new main tower. In short, it’s predictably stunning. […]

Canada’s CBC Fills Election Night Set With Direct-view LED

Canada had its federal election last week – a five week or so sprint of an election instead of the ones south of us, in the US, which seemingly never really end.
