I'm sitting in a Starbucks here in Cebu, Philippines. And there's a young person using an Apple Pencil with his iPad. I have an Apple Pencil for use with my iPad, but I tried it once and it just felt difficult and uncomfortable. I asked him to tell me about how he uses it and what he thinks about it. He said the same thing a couple other people told me about the Apple Pencil – that once you get used to it, it's life changing. He's obviously a smart guy as he's in school and studying medicine. I am motivated when I get back later this week to commit to using the pencil with my iPad at least once each day. What is it about sometimes being either stubborn or unwilling to try something new the older we get particularly with new technologies? Are you this way with any either technology or tool you want to use but haven't really learned how to use it? (BTW) I uploaded my newest video on the channel using only the Filmora app on my iPhone. I LIKED it.

@David Schwartz not sure ... but I asked him what he was studying and he said medicine. I'm going to use it with a Notes app like Apple notes and a recommended app called good notes.

@L T I think they are made for use with iPads.
🚨 Community Update: What’s Up Boomer Is Just Getting Started 🚨
Hey Boomers 👋 If you’re reading this, you’re part of something special. This community is a unique mix of two worlds: 1. Long-time viewers and subscribers from the What’s Up Boomer YouTube channel… 2. …and new friends from the Skool platform, curious about what’s possible in this next season of life. While everyone’s path here is different, two core passions are pulling us together: ✅ Exploring the journey of creating a YouTube channel (yes, now is a perfect time to start — no matter your age) ✅ Making the most of how life has turned out — especially in this “retired, but not done yet” phase This is a space for honest conversation, creativity, trying new things, and finally doing the stuff you said you’d do once you had the time. There are no silly questions. No wrong starting points. Whether you’re hitting upload for the first time or just want deeper purpose in your days, you belong here. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be adding more ways to connect, learn, and support each other. For now, jump in and introduce yourself with a twist: 👉 What’s one thing you always thought you’d do in retirement but haven’t yet? Or 👉 What's one thing that was unexpected once hitting your retirement age? Let’s start dreaming out loud — and maybe doing something about it. Welcome 💛

@David Schwartz agree!! David you know that I survived a Widowmaker 6 1/2 years ago. I would definitely be interested in your group except what will probably happen is everyone in their brother comes forward with a cure type thing. Although I try to keep an open mind on everything because if there's one thing I know for sure, what we've been told about heart health has been about as wrong as can be. Most people don't have a clue that heart attacks/heart disease is the number one cause of death and has been for over a generation in this country. And this is all under the direction and advisement of modern cardiology. When I get back in country, I'll reach out to you and let's get together. I'd love to talk to you over coffee about this topic. Also interesting is I have tried to get a group via YouTube together of survivors and it just doesn't seem people have been interested… Not sure why.

@Maureen Greer 💥 oh such cool and meaningful surprises in this time of your life.
Bah humbug 🎅🏻
I've done it! Joined in decorating for Xmas 🎅🏻 I've added a Santa hat to my profile picture. And being a typical tech challenged Boomer, I had to have help. If you'd like to join in the fun, here's how. Just go to Gemini ai on google. Ask it to add a santa hat to your profile picture. Upload the picture with the request. Boom! (And share it here in the post so we can Like!)

@L T ya know, my experiences playing Monopoly were never really good memories as the whole strategy was to CRUSH your opponents into economic ruin!
