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,

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?

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.
