After a couple of weeks with Apple and Google two-factor authentication running, I thought I should give you an update.

I bit the bullet this week and turned on two-factor authentication for both my NosillaCast Google Account and my Apple ID.

Steve loves photography and videography, having a barrel of fun with his iPhone 6s and his GoPro Hero 3. The GoPro’s ultra wide angle lets him take selfies with a lot of people in the photo. One of his favorite photos (which has been Lindsay’s cover photo for ages) is one of his entire family, […]

When I was working, triaging my email to make sure I didn’t miss important stuff was a critical part of my day. Now that I’m a full time layabout with a podcast for entertainment, my emails are less of a problem. Because of that I haven’t ever investigated the high end email tools for power […]
