Install the Print Cartridge and queue the Printer Paper!

On average, it is said that standard first class mail will be delayed by 1-2 days, depending on...

Our Tribute to Steve… in RentPost Fashion

Hearing about the death of Steve Jobs was a very difficult pill to swallow. Sure, we all knew it was imminent, he had been dealing with pancreatic cancer for quite some time. But, somehow, the realization that it had happened was shocking, even still. Steve had an amazing knack for building world changing products, and we, at RentPost, share in that passion. So, as our tribute to Steve and...

Apartment Complex – WI-FI FAIL

OK, so I figured we would start this off a bit lighthearted with an excellent snapshot posted up at one of our favorite sites, failblog.org.  So, I think this should be pretty self-explanatory, but apparently someone at this apartment complex has confused HI-FI with WI-FI/Wifi/wifi/WIFI.
