I am proud to announce the launch of three new Flying Blind, LLC initiatives that I hope you will enjoy and find useful.
First, the "FB-Eye Spotlight" will be devoted to showcasing a particular adaptive technology, mainstream technology, or service provider's efforts and contributions to those of us who are vision impaired, and is intended to be a venue where you, the reader, gain exposure to a specific organization to add to your arsenal of personal and professional resources.
Secondly, Flying Blind, LLC is pleased to announce the launch of its "E-Blink ShowCase" initiative, which brings to you, the consumer and/or purchaser of today's adaptive technologies, unbeatable bargains on certified previously owned equipment which has the Flying Blind, LLC "Stamp of Approval" with regard to functionality and condition.
Lastly, Flying Blind, LLC's "EyePod TechnoCast" is our first venture into the world of podcasting, and is intended to showcase innovative, affordable, and life-changing solutions for those of us who are vision impaired. You won't find overpriced, overhyped products that are limited in their scope and design in this forum. Alternatively, we will strive to provide you with lower cost alternatives and/or strategies to enable you to enjoy all of the benefits of what mainstream technologies have to offer your sighted colleagues, friends, and family. Many thanks to Dennis Bartlett for his contributions to this first Volume of Flying Blind, LLC's EyePod TechnoCast.
We will also be providing you with information on a few Flying Blind, LLC-specific presentations and events during the coming weeks. So please enjoy these new enhancements, and as always, feel free to forward them on to your colleagues and friends and return any feedback which we will definitely take under advisement.
Thank you, and for all of our U.S. Readers, have a happy and safe 4th of July Holiday!
Respectfully,
— Larry L. Lewis, Jr.
