Friday afternoon’s landing at Dulles and subsequent Metro ride home put this year’s business travel in the books–unless somebody else is prepared to pay for an additional work trip in 2025, and not even I want that to happen.
11/10/2025: I Took America’s Goofiest-Looking EV for a Spin. It Might Swing by Your Mailbox Soon, PCMag
My mid-October trip to Wisconsin (with Oshkosh Corp. paying for the airfare and lodging) yielded this report about the U.S. Postal Service’s NextGen Delivery Vehicle that I have yet to see in operation near me.
11/11/2025: It’s easy to reassign spectrum if you’re not the one using it, Light Reading
I rounded out this recap of a spectrum-policy conference I’d attended at the end of October with some quotes from a broadband expert whose insight I’ve been borrowing for the last 15 years or so.
11/11/2025: Google’s Latest Pixel Drop Adds Messaging Tricks And Tweaks, PCMag
The time-zone spread between the 2 p.m. Eastern embargo time for this item and my Western European local time for most of last week made this easy to file between other Web Summit schedule commitments.
11/12/2025: Cybersecurity at the pace of AI, Web Summit
The first of three panels I moderated at this conference in Lisbon had me quizzing Rob Daly, CTO of the security-training firm SoSafe, about how AI has complicated the work of people like him. As in previous years, Web Summit’s organizers paid for my lodging and are reimbursing me for my airfare.
11/12/2025: The Tesla Files: Leaks, power, and control, Web Summit
Later that Wednesday, I interviewed Sönke Iwersen, head of investigative research at Handelsblatt, about that German newspaper’s groundbreaking reporting on Tesla’s secretive and often careless approach to safety. Iwersen brought up a part of this story that hadn’t emerged in my pre-conference banter over e-mail with him: the steep personal price the paper’s informant has paid.
11/13/2025: The startups taking on Nvidia, Web Summit
Where my onstage interview of Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman at Web Summit Qatar in February had me running out of questions in my hand-written outline, this chat Thursday afternoon with that AI-processor startup’s chief strategy officer Andy Hock required me to cross out some queries in my notes because he answered the others at such length.
11/13/2025: Uber COO on Robotaxis: The Economics Don’t Work…Yet, PCMag
This panel happened late Tuesday afternoon, right before a crowded evening schedule; having to moderate two panels of my own on Wednesday pushed my filing time to Wednesday afternoon.
11/14/2025: Blue Origin Lands Its Giant Rocket’s Booster for the First Time, PCMag
A hold late in the countdown pushed the second launch of New Glenn to around dinnertime in Lisbon. So I didn’t get to watch any part of this mission on a screen larger than my phone’s until after I got back to my hotel–with fewer hours left than I would have liked before I had to head to Lisbon’s airport to fly back to the States.
11/14/2025: Cory Doctorow’s Plan for a Better Internet: Legalize Jailbreaking, Modding, and Tinkering, PCMag
I did not plan on my Web Summit coverage giving me a chance to put the neologism “enshittogenic” into the opening paragraphs of a story, but sometimes life comes at you fast.
