why aren’t you having a balanced approach to the technology reviews that is out there.  Every  thing that you have been posting on to your blog has been favoring google as if they need support and you have been demonstrating an anti Microsoft bias in your postings to your blog.  Kind of funny considering you are using or probably using windows mobile on your mobile device since google doesn’t have an accessible operating system for any of their products.  Read the rest of this entry »

Hello Everyone,

INTRODUCTION
Recently, I received several emails requesting that I make a recommendation for an accessible medication prescription reminder application that can be used on a mobile device.

While there are both commercial and free medication prescription reminder applications available for use on a mobile device, I cannot recommend them at this time for several reasons not the least of which being that they are not comfortably accessible with screen reading software, like Mobile Speak, for the blind and low vision.

Not to worry my friends for as is often the case, Google provides a free, easy-to-use, and reliable tool that will remind you when to take your medicine.  Read the rest of this entry »

“So Mark, what is the difference between Symbian and Windows Mobile phones?”

Hello Everyone,

Regardless of how many times I am asked the above question, I cannot find a succinct and satisfactory answer.  Does such an answer even exist?  I do not know but I can tell you that the following article brilliantly written by CNET’s Rick Broida (May 2, 2008), entitled CNET’s Quick Guide to Handheld Operating Systems, makes me oh so aware of the difference they, the operating systems that is, make in my life. (Smile)

Enjoy,

TO MY DREAMER

by Mark Marcus
My Dreamer:

The gift I gave you and will give to you again and again was born from the warmth and sincerity of my love

Fancy it and, alas, fancy me; for you are my one true sweet, sly, silly, sultry and seasoned dreamer of old.  

Let my gift embrace your dreams and let its fire ignite the flight that will ferry your thoughts to where they wish to go.

Ease your mind into the mist of my gift, close your eyes, and think of me.

Rest your dark essence upon my immortal hopes and primordial desires; and dream.  Dream of who you are, who I am, and what we will become, together. 

Until we met, I dared not ponder the wonders of the universe nor peer too closely into the shadows of my soul; but then you came unto me and I, to you, and the candles of my own dreams began to glow.

Accept my gift, my beloved dreamer and trust that, as one, we shall never let the dream, the one and only beautiful dream, erode.

Most Sincerely,

Mark Marcus

INTRODUCTION

Hello Everyone,

I received a text message from a friend of mine, the other day, while I was in a city council meeting.  I was just thinking how bored I was when my mobile phone silently notified me that I had just received a text message.  With just the click of a few buttons I learned that a friend had just wished me a good day and wanted me to know that she was thinking about me.  That message put a smile in my heart and a grin on my face. 

In that moment I began to wonder how many of us still do not recognize the ultra convenience and awesome power of text messaging. 

Therefore, in an effort to bring some understanding to the unfathomable and ever-changing ecosphere of SMS, I have collected the following information for your perusal. 

I’ll tell you now that there is a lot of material covered in this article.  Please know that you are, in no way, expected to memorize its contents.  Instead, use the information here as kind of a blueprint for how you may better take advantage of the SMS lane of the information super highway.  So, relax, put a smile on your face, and enjoy the ride.

Most Sincerely,

Mark
