[ale] ALE Central meeting November 20 @7:30pm

[ted-lists at xy0.org (Ted W.)]

I backed the NFC Ring project on Kickstarter (http://nfcring.com/). I 
used it for two factor phone unlocking on my Galaxy Nexus but I found it 
to be too tedious to line up just right. Some devices, even if enabled 
with NFC, are apparently more finicky then others. I would be interested 
to try it on a newer Android device to see if it's improved any. I 
really liked the idea of my wedding band acting as a two factor device. 
I'll try to bring the ring with me to the meeting if I am able to get 
there this month.
