Hello My Fellow Drive-Time Direction-Finding Draftees,

Before I discuss a very handy useful feature of Code Factory’s Mobile Geo, a software GPS navigation solution for the blind and low vision, embrace the following piece and always remember.

The following was recently discovered in an old abandoned cavern over two kilometers beneath the earth’s surface.  It has been translated into English by a team of linguistic experts who readily admit that they had to improvise some of the words due to a lack of understanding of the author’s now extinct dialect.  Read the rest of this entry »

Hello Family,

Today is yet another day I have been a two-battery Epix owner.  All I can say is yea!!!!!

I’d forgotten how nice it is to not worry about running low on juice especially after running heavy tests on the phone all day.  Don’t get me wrong, I never ran completely out of power but, I use my phone so much that the possibility was never far from my mind. 

Now, with my Desktop charger and the second battery, all I have to do is lock and load. 

It almost makes me long for the days of the first old-school Motorola monstrosities when having a second battery was truly not a luxury but a necessity. 

It really is a shame that stand-alone Desktop battery chargers are so difficult to find; at least, they are for me. 

Now, if I could only locate a Y-cable …

Ah, but one thing at a time.

With Liberty and Power for All,
Mark

QUESTION:
As a low vision person, how do you know which way you’re traveling in terms of north, south, east, and west?  This may be a personal subject so I apologize if it offends you.

Thank you,

Karen

ANSWER:
This is a very good question, Karen, and I assure you I am not offended.  In fact, I wish more people would make such inquiries.   Read the rest of this entry »
