After a great week in Berlin for IFA–with most of my travel expenses covered by the organizers of that tech trade show as part of their usual accommodation for a group of invited U.S. journalists and analysts–I’ve got Monday at home before I fly to Chicago Tuesday to moderate a panel discussion at the robotics firm Vention’s Demo Day. Then Wednesday I fly from there to Orlando to cover the early-Thursday-morning launch of AST SpaceMobile’s first set of BlueBird phone-broadband satellites. I realize that this scheduling may look a little crazy, but I could not pass up a chance to see a Falcon 9 liftoff from six miles away.
9/3/2024: How Aurora is finding its own lane on the road to autonomous trucking, Fast Company
This story had a long editorial on-ramp–I made my day trip to Dallas to visit Aurora at the end of July, then needed another week to talk to a couple of industry analysts, then was out of town for Black Hat and some quasi-vacation time, then had to set the story aside for work on a Fast Co. project with a more defined deadline, then finally filed the piece in late August. And then we had to correct a detail in the story after publication when Aurora clarified to me that their scenario of an autonomous truck running from Long Beach to Dallas would require a refueling stop.
9/3/2024: ‘Lunar Lake’ Leaves the Launch Pad: Intel Unveils Core Ultra 2 Laptop Chips at IFA, PCMag
PCMag asked if I could fly out to Berlin a day early to cover Intel’s event unveiling this new line of laptop processors, and I was happy to oblige–even if describing the finer points of CPU architectures represented a stretch from my usual coverage.
9/3/2024: Google Drops 5 New Android Features As It Ships Android 15 Source Code, PCMag
I wrote this in advance off an embargoed copies of Google’s blog posts and filed it last weekend to a) avoid having this hanging over my head during IFA, and b) stick the work on my August invoice.
9/5/2024: Court to Internet Archive: You Can’t Turn Printed Books Into Online E-Book Loans, PCMag
Having a morning with no must-attend IFA events booked left me time to digest this court ruling shutting down the Internet Archive’s “Controlled Digital Lending” project and have an explainer filed by the time my editor in New York was logging on.
9/7/2024: Boeing’s Starliner Touches Down Unscathed But Uncrewed, PCMag
Time zones worked in my favor again when Starliner landed in New Mexico just after 6 a.m. Central European time, allowing me to have a writeup done before I headed downstairs for breakfast.
9/7/2024: Cordless Blender? ‘Ki’ Standard Aims to Unplug Small Kitchen Gadgets, PCMag
After getting an in-person pitch for this cordless-power standard, I’m more convinced that it has a future as an extra feature on future induction cooktops than as something embedded below countertops.
9/8/2024: Beyond AirTags: 3 Unique Accessories You Can Track With Apple’s ‘Find My’ Network, PCMag
I started writing this roundup late Saturday afternoon, then finished it Saturday night after dinner–which meant I missed the chance to go out for drinks with some of my fellow IFA travelers, but I did not want to have to finish this post on the flight home in addition to the other writing I had to do from a chair in the sky.

Boeings Starliner: Ist die Calypso gestrandet?
Wie ernst sind die Probleme mit dem Antrieb der Raumkapsel Starliner? Offenbar nicht sehr schlimm im Gegensatz zu den Gerüchten anderswo.

I had an unusually space-centric news week, which led me to think anew about when I could next get on a plane to Florida (or Texas) to see a large rocket launch in person instead of on a screen.
6/4/2024: Sorry, Cable: Fiber and 5G Home Internet Win the ISP Popularity Contest, PCMag
A year after the American Customer Satisfaction Index documented a dramatic gap in subscriber approval of fiber broadband compared to cable, a new ACSI survey found that people using fixed-wireless Internet also voiced more contentment with their connectivity than cable users.
6/5/2024: Boeing’s Starliner Finally Launches With Astronauts Onboard, PCMag
This post would have been shorter if Starliner’s first crewed launch had happened last month as originally scheduled, but each delay gave me an excuse to write a little more background about this launch, NASA’s commercial crew program and the history of Atlas rockets.
6/6/2024: T-Mobile’s Home Internet Backup Plan Kicks in When Your Broadband Goes Out, PCMag
After I filed my recap of T-Mobile’s announcement–which also covered a new Opensignal report about the rise of fixed wireless–I read Jon Brodkin’s report at Ars Technica and realized he’d unearthed an important issue with the carrier’s pitch. So I sent in an update to my editor from my phone while on line to get my first in a series of small plates at the NOAA Sustainable Seafood Celebration.
6/6/2024: On Fourth Launch, SpaceX’s Starship Sticks the Landing, PCMag
I wrote a second post about a pioneering rocket launch this week. I’m still amazed that Starship’s second stage made it all the way to the Indian Ocean after I watched one of its fins start to disintegrate from reentry heating live on camera.

6/9/2024: Why the US Falls Short on Easy, Cheap Cross-Border Money Transfers, PCMag
I started gathering string for this story back in February when I traveled to Vilnius, Lithuania to moderate a panel at a financial-technology conference there and get an introduction to the country’s fintech sector (with local hosts covering most of my travel expenses). Then I had to quiz an industry analyst, after which watching a panel at Web Summit Rio gave me another angle to look into.

It figures, the one time I miss a launch attempt for the starliner, it actually launches.
