Hello Everyone,
The other day, I discovered Daily Craigslist App, an iOS utility that just happens to work wonderfully with VoiceOver, Apple’s software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision..
This app allows you to easily browse Craig’s List on your iOS device.
Below is a link to the free version of the app but there is an ads-free version available, as well.

Wireless Phones | Comments Off on TIP: How To Get Siri To Speak Your Current Location | May 6th, 2015
Hello Everyone,
If you want to have Siri speak your current location, as of iOS 8.3 or later, simply say, “Tell me where I am” or ask, “Where am I?”
Happy Traveling.

Hello Everyone,
One of my friends, until now, has fervently refused to setup either a Touch-ID or PIN on her iPhone 6, despite my suggestions to the contrary. She said she thought it was too much trouble.
Today, she called me and told me that she, upon returning from a short vacation with her family, accidentally left her phone in her sister’s house, approximately 800 miles away. Read the rest of this entry »
Hello Everyone,
In the olden-days, back when Windows Mobile 6.1 was the latest and greatest mobile OS on the planet, as it ran flawlessly on my beloved Samsung Blackjack 2, during the hustle and bustle of daily life, I would sometimes, very rarely mind you, find myself taking out my frustrations on my wireless device, said device being referred to these days as a Feature Phone, by, let us say, pressing the keys a little more enthusiastically than normal (smile).

Wireless Phones | Comments Off on The CVS Pharmacy iOS App Makes Medicine More Manageable for the Blind and Low Vision | March 17th, 2015
Hello All,
I have recently become a huge fan of both the CVS Pharmacy website and, more importantly to me, the CVS iOS App.
As an F.Y.I., in the area in which I live, there are over 11 CVS Pharmacies staffed with some of the nicest pharmacists and pharmacy technicians I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. These people really care about their customers.
I am posting this to let you know that the CVS Pharmacy iOS app is marvelously accessible via VoiceOver, Apples’ software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision.
For the first time in my life, I can independently access and manage all of my prescriptions with confidence and privacy.
To iOS VoiceOver users, whether you’re a new customer or a dedicated, longtime fan of the company, grab the app, setup an online account via either the app or their website and enjoy.
A heart-felt thanks to CVS Pharmacy for making medicine more manageable for the blind and low vision.

Wireless Phones | Comments Off on A Virtual Reward Card On Your iPhone 6 Plus, Be Careful Who You Hand It To | February 20th, 2015
Hello All,
I am absolutely in love with the Passbook App and Apple Pay feature on my iPhone 6 Plus.
The number of brick & mortar stores in my area that accept Apple Pay transactions via the NFC protocol is relatively high. As a result, I find myself using my iPhone to make purchases at least once a week, sometimes even more. Read the rest of this entry »
Hello Everyone,
Just a heads-up that there is a phishing expedition to get into your iTunes account.
Today, I received an email from what appeared to be Apple, sent directly to one of my valid Apple iTunes email addresses, informing me that I needed to update my iTunes password. The email went on to suggest that if I did not update my password within 24 hours, my iTunes account would be suspended due to suspicious activity. Read the rest of this entry »

Wireless Phones | Comments Off on Take The Amtrak Train, Mark’s Latest Favorite Ring Tone | July 6th, 2014
Hello My Fellow Train Trekking Travelers,
For awhile now, I’ve been searching for a good free Amtrak train horn audio file for use as either a ring tone or notification sound on my Smartphone.
Failing to locate such a file, I decided to create one, myself.
Actually, the file I am making available to you in this post, in my opinion, serves better as a notification sound rather than a ring tone but, as is all things, the choice is up to you. Read the rest of this entry »
