Easing into my 70s

This is just another reminder from Trez that you need to take a little time in your 50's and 60's to understand home technology. Just the basics. There is a point where you are too old to understand to take advantage of all of the services that are available to seniors so they can age in place at home. #senior tech #aging in place #aging #seniors #podcast for seniors Soundtracks Courtesy w...

Are you looking for earbuds or headphones so you can hear your favorite podcast, listen to music or listen to your TV. Are you looking for a pretty good mic to use with your iPhone to record podcasts or your life story. These Soundcore Bluetooth earpods work great with my iPhone and the mic works good too. Best of all I don't have to deal with wires that can be unsafe when you are walking or even...

I started reading the Bible late in my life and am still in my first read. As a lifelong Episcopalian I felt that I knew it, I just had not read it. I encourage you to start your Bible journey today.

Talking about an emotional task, going through my parent's estate. We had to make their home presentable so we could put it on the market and at the same time, disperse of their things so when the house sold we could easily move everything out. Over the past two and a half years, both of my parents passed away. They were blessed to lived a long and happy life, both to their late 90's. They...

AI is everywhere in our daily life, our every day life, everywhere. Think about how your relationship with your doctor, plumber even your employer has changed in just the last couple of years. You have probably talked to AI or seen AI on your television set and not even know. When you talk to it or see it on the screen, things just seem a little bit off, not real. My advice to you is to learn how...

Road rage is an epidemic. The other day I was involved in a road rage incident in my neighborhood. I was driving in traffic and a hot head in a Porche came up from behind and started flashing his lights, honking his horn and yelling at me. His convertible top was down so everyone could hear him. He followed me into the super market while continuing to yell and honk his horn. He sped around me thro...

I'm testing my Samson Q2U microphone in my studio without and with the window AC running. Is the background noise too annoying? This is recorded on a $300 laptop using the built-in sound recorder program without any voice processing. This is a really good mic for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, virtual conferences, podcasts, YouTube videos, singers and bands. #samson #q2u #SoundCheck

A neighbor called and wanted help in disposing of their old computer and wanted the hard drive to be erased securely. I called around or town and this is what I found.

This is my experience purchasing a hospital bed for my mother after she graduated from rehab after a hospital stay. She moved into an assisted living facility and only had one large room so decorating it was a challenge. We purchase a hospital bed thinking it was the safer option, but quickly realized that it was a mistake for her. #hospital bed #hospitalbed #retirement #AssistedLiving #a bed for...

Hey, y'all! I'm Trez. Seniors, you are never too old to learn to use technology. As you age, technology will be more important to you whether you like it or not. In this first episode, I challenge you to grabe a notebook, write on it "Trez's Tech Podcast - Learning to use technology as I get older". Keep this notebook in a safe and secure place. It will be a repository for all of your account and...

Hey, y'all! I'm Trez. I thought I would start the conversation about why it is so important to learn how to use at least some technology as we age. Based on my personal and professional experience, seniors who had a little bit of comfort with technology seem to be able to adjust to newer technologies as they get oldere. If they strugled with just the basics then they either refused to use things t...
