About me
About Ken Hollow
Hi. I’m Ken. I run Two Second Solutions — a site where I write tech guides in plain English for people who’d rather understand their devices than sit through a 40-minute YouTube tutorial narrated by a guy in a gaming chair.
I used to work in digital marketing and tech support. Then I became the full-time manager of Nana Vix, a 300-year-old fox spirit who somehow became my only client. Now I spend my days explaining technology to someone who thinks Bluetooth is a dental condition and that “the cloud” is where spirits go when they’re bored.
The upside? If my explanations survive Nana, they’ll work for anyone. That’s the whole premise of this site.
Tech shouldn’t require a computer science degree to understand.
Every article on this site starts the same way: Nana breaks something, asks me what a word means, or does something with her phone that shouldn’t be physically possible. I explain it to her, she argues, and eventually we arrive at an answer that a normal human being can actually use.
That’s what Two Second Solutions is — real tech questions answered without jargon, without assumptions, and without that condescending tone you get from most tech sites. I write about privacy, WiFi, phones, everyday tech, and whatever Nana has managed to set on fire this week (sometimes literally).
If you’ve ever Googled something like “what does clearing the cache actually do” and gotten a 3,000-word article that assumed you already knew what a cache was — this site is for you.
The Nana Test guarantee
Zero jargon
If Nana doesn’t understand the explanation, it gets rewritten. She has 300 years of life experience and zero patience for acronyms.
Actual answers
Every article targets a real question people actually search for. No filler posts, no “10 things you already knew” listicles.
Mildly entertaining
Tech guides don’t have to be dry. Ours involve a fox spirit, at least one existential crisis, and occasionally useful information.
About Nana Vix
Nana is a fox spirit from an indeterminate era who decided that modern influencer culture was more interesting than whatever she was doing for the previous three centuries. She’s my only client, my biggest source of stress, and the reason every tech guide on this site is written at a level even an ancient enchantress can follow.
She doesn’t write articles. She doesn’t edit them. She does, however, interrupt the writing process roughly every 11 minutes to ask questions like “Ken, can the WiFi owner see that I ordered 47 jade hair pins?” — which, honestly, has produced some of our best content.
Want to get in touch?
Questions, feedback, collaboration ideas, or just want to tell me your WiFi is slow too — I read everything.
(Nana also reads everything, but she mostly just judges.)
