Hello My Fellow Looky-Loos,
I hope you enjoy this 15 minute episode of the Candleshore Podcast, in which I give a real-time demonstration of Sendero’s LookAround GPS application on the iPhone 3GS with VoiceOver, Apple’s screen reading solution for the blind and low vision.
A heartfelt “Thank You” to Sendero for making it a little easier for all of us Apple orchard-dwellers to “make a joyful noise”, as we take a look around, on our iPhones.
Most Sincerely,
QUESTION:
Ok, Mark:
Nice going, I think. Only you very successfully blew me out of the water with this one. (grin) So, if I understand correctly, you are using your iPhone as a wifi hotspot for your netbook?

As you may guess, I would never go anywhere without a reliable means of connecting to the Internet on one of my portable computers.
However, since my assimilation into the Apple Orchard, it is not enough to merely have broadband access on my computer but I now insist on having it (as WiFi) on my trusty iPhone 3GS for many reasons not the least of which being that I now, almost exclusively, use it for Skype on a daily basis.

The Day It All Changed, October 20, 2009.
OK, sounds dramatic, but trust me, mark down October 19, 2009 as a day to remember.
Rarely, in my career have I been “blown away” by a demonstration. Tonight, “blown away” doesn’t even begin to describe it. I should have seen it coming, but, I didn’t. I was completely blindsided. I was blindsided by the vision of Brewster Kahle, the raw brilliance of his team, and the entire group of individuals and companies who played a role in Brewster’s convocation. Click Here To Continue
