What we do
- Free workshops — bring your phone or tablet (iPhone, Android, iPad, any kind), leave able to do something you couldn't do that morning.
- Plain English — no jargon, no dumb questions, no rushing.
- The useful stuff first — texting photos to the grandkids, video calls that work, spotting scams before they catch you.
- Then the fun stuff — like having AI write a letter or plan a trip for you.
No cost. No sales pitch. Just neighbors helping neighbors.
Who's behind this
My name is Jim. I'm 72 years old, I live right here in Puna, on the Big Island, and I've spent a good chunk of my life helping folks with their computers. Technology moves faster every year, and too many of us kupuna are getting left at the curb. I started this hui to fix that — one neighbor at a time.
It's never too late to learn this stuff. I'm 72, and I'm just getting started.
Coffee & Talk Story, on Zoom
We're starting online, casual, coffee in hand. Everybody welcome, wherever you live. In-person meetings come once the Hui's paperwork is done.
