Dr. Maryanne Garry, Professor of Psychology at Victoria University of Wellington joins us again to talk about two really interesting books about cognitive psychology.

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

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.

Last week on Chit Chat Across the Pond, Bart worked me over yet again that I should do two-factor authentication on my email accounts. I whined a lot as I’m sure you heard.
