HAPPY NEW YEAR!Greetings, and a Happy 2009 from the Flying Blind, LLC Team and its affiliates. We trust that you all had a safe and blessed holiday season, and have recharged the batteries for what promises to be an exciting, prosperous, and rewarding 2009! Welcome to the first Newsletter from Flying Blind to kick off the New Year. In this issue, the FB-Eye Spotlight introduces you to Povidi, a start-up company with an evolving adaptive solution that Flying Blind is assisting in bringing to market. We have some great refurbished products for sale in our E-Blink Showcase. And in this installment of the Eyepod Technocast we give you a detailed snapshot of the Talking Tactile Tablet, its functionality, and some of its corresponding materials. We also have a few interesting FB-Notes to conclude the newsletter. So make yourself comfortable, and enjoy. As always, if you have any suggestions, comments, or questions, please e-mail them to me directly at larry.lewis@flying-blind.com Respectfully, — Larry L. Lewis, Jr. Larry.Lewis@Flying-Blind.com President and Founder Flying Blind, LLC
Povidi:
http://www.povidi.comIn this edition of the FB-Eye Spotlight, we introduce you to Povidi, Orientation from "Down Under"! It’s been said: "It doesn’t matter where you've been, but where you're going." SoundPost enables those of us who are blind to "get to where we are going" by efficiently and easily orienting us to where we are, and which direction we need to travel. 
SoundPost is an orientation device whereby a base station is mounted to a location such as an entry-way, stairway, escalator or bus stop. The user, equipped with a hand control can easily locate the base station either through the emission of audible tones, vibrations, or audible phrases which can be programmed into the base station. It is not a GPS solution, nor does it circumvent the need for a mobility tool such as a white cane or a service animal.SoundPost runs off of off-the-shelf batteries which only need to be changed once per year in the base station. And, it plans to enter the market at a price point affordable for large institutions, government agencies, and end users. SoundPost is on the brink of entering the market in 2009, and Flying Blind is honored to be partnering with SoundPost in the hopes that their entrance into the market will truly better our vision-impaired community. Feel free to visit the SoundPost website link above; this link, and additional information, can also be accessed within various sections of the Flying Blind, LLC Website.

In addition, Flying Blind, LLC is offering training on many of today’s mainstream, Microsoft-based applications. Flying Blind, LLC’s founder, Larry Lewis, has an extensive background in education and is a strong proponent of formalizing teaching methodologies that offer an enjoyable and productive training experience for each student. In this vein, Mr. Lewis has assembled a team of trainers that mirror his commitment to offering exemplary training in a most caring and responsive manner. Flying Blind, LLC offers these fee-for-service trainings either on-site, via telephone, or via one’s preferred audio chat client.

Mr. Lewis Begins Personal BlogThis final FB-Note is of a personal nature. Rarely do we stray from the topic of adaptive technology here, which is Flying Blind, LLC’s core competency, but over the last couple of months, on a number of service-related listservs, Mr. Lewis has repeatedly come across the recurring discussion regarding persons who are blind, and physical fitness. Especially among school-aged students, physical education and physical fitness is often an afterthought for the blind participant, and many questions from service providers have been raised regarding incorporating physical activity and wellness into the lives of their vision impaired clientele. Mr. Lewis has been involved in a wide variety of physical activities over the years, but none have excited and inspired him more than his journey to learn the martial art of Gracie-Style Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a journey that began for him just a few years ago. This Martial Art is optimal for persons who are vision impaired because by its very nature participants are in such close proximity to one another. You can read more about Gracie Jiu Jitsu by visiting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gracie_Jiu_Jitsu#Origin. The discussions on these listservs, coupled with some other motivators, have inspired Mr. Lewis to begin blogging about his journey. In this blog, Mr. Lewis will be documenting his perspective as a blind participant in Royler Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while sharing with you many of his experiences training at different academies around the country. He’ll also offer his perspective, as well as his very own struggles, questions, and achievements, necessary to further improve his skill set. We invite you to share in Mr. Lewis's journey at http://gracie-blindjits.blogspot.com/ as it is updated with new posts and commentary. Or, feel free to simply share this link with an interested client, friend, or family member. We thank you for reading this edition of the Flying Blind, LLC Newsletter.
