Senior Geek Squids

Senior Geek Squids-Boomer Lensmasters

Who are Senior Geek Squids? We are the creative, inquisitive, inventive computer jockeys born before the middle of the last century, the senior somewhat geeky Squids who use technology in a practical or fun way. Join this group of lensmasters, Squid senior citizens who embrace and use technology in their day to day lives. Share your computer-related knowledge to build a community of bright, like-minded greying Squid lensmasters like yourself. If you weren't a bit of a geek you wouldn't be a lensmaster ... right?

Are you an over-50 somewhat geeky Squidoo-er? Baby-boomers and parents of boomers - if you're a lensmaster, you're qualified to join this group.

Not over 50, but already a young grandparent? If you're a lensmaster with grandchildren this group is also for you! "Senior" means we've lived some life but we're not retiring - far from it!

If you think you qualify for this group, you don't need an invitation to join. Submit a lens that qualifies (or several lenses) and if you meet the membership guidelines, you're in - let us feature you as a Senior Geek Squid!

Group Organizer - Pastiche

I am the group organizer for Senior Geek Squids. I invite all 50+ lensmasters who have at least 1 published lensography or lensmasters who write about being a tech-comfortable boomer or 21st century grandparent to join us.

Here are a few of my lenses (I've got more than 100!)
Loading

Acceptable Lens Guidelines

Your About Me lens will always be acceptable if you're a senior or a grandparent lensmaster. In fact, you should make sure you add it to the group page plexo yourself and vote for it after it's approved.

Submit lenses that relate to the experience of being a lensmaster and a senior together. For example, if your 78-year-old mother uses her PC to balance her checkbook and do her taxes, and she helps other seniors do their tax returns - or you do something like that - that's a good fit to submit as a senior geek lens.

If you IM or Skype or text your grandchildren, or you use your computer to manage your photo collection, recipes or garden plans, that probably applies. If you've found a way to earn an income after retirement with your computer, tell us about it.

Did you write an online guide to cooking comfort foods - those from the "before microwave" era? Have you ripped all your 45rpm and 33rpm albums to MP3s, or converted 8mm home movies to videos that you've remixed and shared with friends and family? Share your experiences in a lens.

Build and submit lenses that focus on technology and its impact on your life over the past 30 to 70 years. Lenses that describe how you use gadgets to make life simpler are a good idea. If you don't have a lens you think "fits" the group guidelines, then create one specifically for this group.

What's Not Gonna Cut It

In order to stay focused, we can't accept all lenses submitted by group members. Your lensography or About Me Lens will always be accepted if you're 50 or a grandparent.

Beyond that, we accept into the group only lenses that focus on the experience of being a senior or grandparent and using technology or lenses that describe memorable elements of the boomer and pre-boomer lifestyle.

For example, a lens recalling life before color television, cell phones and video games or about the changes in diet and healthy living during your life would qualify, while a completely commercial lens selling products or services without any real original written content would probably not be approved - unless the products are all oriented around being a geek senior or senior Squid lensmaster and accompanied by interesting written content.

Also not acceptable is any lens that's composed mainly of prebuilt modules, content pulled from other sources or a lens lacking elements of personal sharing about the experience of being a geek and/or senior Squid.

If you're not sure, you can submit your lens for consideration. If it's declined you can take another cut at it to make it more on topic for Senior Geek Squids and resubmit it.

Group Membership Rules ...

You don't need to know HTML - just how to use your computer for tasks you used to do another way. Do you make photo albums, check stocks or bank accounts, print pictures, organize recipes, make patterns, balance the checkbook or pay bills using your computer?

Have you built a lens about any of these topics, or about your lifework? List it! You can submit more than one lens if it qualifies ... don't be shy!

Lenses in this group may also be about the grandparent experience as it relates to technology, or about topics written by a technically savvy "senior" Squidoo lensmaster.

Visit and Rate Group Member Lenses There are very cool lenses and SquidWho lenses in this group. Please visit group member profiles and rate at least 2 lenses built by group members. Be sure to leave a comment in the guestbook of each lens you visit and rate. Also, be sure you have a guestbook on lenses you submit to this group.

Meet our Newest Senior Geek Lensmasters

Hip Seniors - Geek Squid Lensmaster Members

Wouldn't You Like to Join This Cool Group of Lensmasters?

We've been around for at least 50 years, but we're not OLD. We have active lives, we know about stuff, and we remember when a lot of what's taken for granted today was new and cool and had the WOW factor. We have a lot to share - why not share your thoughts, ideas and memories as a geek senior?

Founding Members: Senior Squid Geek Lensmasters

We're not old, we've got life experience AND we like technology

Meet the first members of Senior Squidoo Geek lensmasters. These are the folks who helped get this group going.

How Senior Geek Squids Use Technology ...

Perhaps you use email to stay in touch with your kids, grandkids, friends or to manage your retirement. Share your lenses with senior tips for online safety, personal development, health care, saving money, travel planning, learning, research, household management, lens development and more.

Do you have a nifty new e-book device like the Kindle: Amazon's Wireless Reading Device? Perhaps you snap pictures with a snazzy digital camera and display them in a Digital Photo Frame. I use my computer to convert my old tapes and LP albums to digital music format, then load those onto my MP3 Music Player. I can take that to the gym or use a special converter to play them in the car through the radio.

Do you use your computer for hobbies, landscape design, financial planning, security? Have you built a lens that proves the point? Do tell ... or make a new lens just for this group! G-rated lenses only, please.

Make Life a Little Easier for Yourself or A Loved One

the wright stuff health products Okay, so we're not old and we're not going to get old. Well, we have parents and sometimes we have a few aches and pains that we didn't have in our thirties or forties or even fifties.

I found a place where I can get all sorts of innovative products that make life work the way it should - the Wright Stuff.

I've been hard on my hands with gardening, carpentry, stonewall-building and all sorts of other physical challenges. I've also worked at a keyboard for more then 30 years. Sometimes I have problems with gripping hand tools to open cans or peel veggies. I like to go to the farmers market (they're open year round where I live) once a week and stock up on all sorts of stuff.

I found a cool little folding shopping cart I can toss in the trunk of my car and use as a personal shopping cart at the market. The Folding Shopping Cart with Wheels is ideal for carrying groceries or laundry and all other utility purposes. Exceptional high quality and durable 4 wheel compact foldable cart.

When I get home I can use the cart to get everything to the house in one trip.

Brain Power - Use it or Lose it

Use it, don't lose it - that's the motto of those who want to keep active and fit in mind and body. Being a lensmaster keeps your mind sharp. These lenses offer tips and advice for brain fitness.

Senior Geek Squids Love Life Long Learning

Key to Keeping Young: Learn Something New Every Day

I finished my college education and earned my degree in marketing a year before my youngest kid graduated from college. at the time I started back to class, there were no formal non-traditional or non-trad offerings, nor were there any online classes. As a manager I was a big promoter of ongoing education and lifelong learning - I preached what I practiced, and still do. I'm thinking about getting a Master's degree so I can be an adjunct college professor or teach a couple courses at the local tech school.

A plea to the great mindtrust of this group ~ I have an idea for a killer charity drive and I'm in the planning stages. I need to find two widgets that are Squidoo friendly. One is a widget that will allow the visitor to draw a card, then capture the card and the visitor's username. The second is similar. I need one that will generate a random number to be given to the visitor and once again capture the info.

If anyone knows where I can get such widgets or build them, or even learn to build them, please contact me.

Thanks so much!
