NC #579 Olympus PEN-F Camera, Two-Factor Not That Bad, SLIK Monopod, AquaTech Camera Housing, Security Bits
My video tutorial about Affinity Photo (part 1) is up on ScreenCasts Online at screencastsonline.com/…. Two interviews from Photon LA: Olympus PEN-F Camera and 300mm Prime Lens, and Kenko-Tokina with their SLIK Monopod and AquaTech Camera Housing.

Continue readingTwo-Factor Authorization Not as Bad as I Thought
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. It was an “interesting” adventure in the same vein as the Chinese curse, “May you have interesting times.” The two experiences were really different and I’m not sure which one was better. In-between those […]
Continue readingApple 2-Factor Authentication – Now With Fewer Paper Cuts
After my someone painful and tedious experience with two-factor authentication on Google, I wasn’t sure I could face doing it on my Apple ID. Since I wrote the previous article, I’ve continued to add to the count of times I’ve had to do the 2FA dance with Google, like when my friend Diane wrote a […]
