  1. Weekly output: facial recognition at airports, seeing space launches, smart-glasses detection

    Somehow, we’ve now traveled more than a quarter of a century since Sept. 11, 2001. I thought about writing something about that millstone of a milestone here, but I didn’t know what I’d want to add to what I wrote on the 20th anniversary of that awful day. (Besides, I guess, speculating about how little a narrow plurality of American voters might have learned from the last 25 years before choosing to return Donald Trump to the White House.) I did, however, appreciate reading the 25th-anniversary testimonies of friends and strangers, and a Reddit post asking what D.C. was like on 9/11 persuaded me to post my own short recap there.

    I also feel that I did not do Friday justice by failing to fly on Sept. 11 as I have so many times over the last 15 years. But I will be back in the air Friday to make my second pilgrimage to LAX for Cranky Dorkfest, the wonderful avgeek meetup that I finally checked out (and then wrote up) last year.

    9/7/2026: These Airport Execs Are All-In on Facial Recognition, But Not Necessarily for the Reasons You’d Think, PCMag

    I watched this panel at the Identity Week conference in D.C. on Thursday of the previous week but didn’t file my recap until Saturday afternoon. In the meantime, feedback on my Bluesky posts recounting that panel convinced me there would be some reader interest in the topic.

    9/8/2026: Let’s Fly: How to Watch a Rocket Launch From Florida’s Space Coast, PCMag

    I updated the post I’d written in the fall of 2024 with insights from seeing a Falcon Heavy launch from the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and updates about SpaceX’s reduced Florida launch cadence. Other updates to this post included fixing an embarrassing-to-me error that nobody else had called out: I had referred to the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station as the Cape Canaveral Space Force Center.

    9/10/2026: Worried About Snooping Smart Glasses? This Startup’s Tech Detects Nearby Specs, PCMag

    Enterprise-software news doesn’t always strike as PCMag material, but the widespread resentment of camera-equipped connected eyewear–“pervert glasses,” as some skeptics put it–made me think this item was different.

  19. At the airport. My luggage got stopped at security. The security person told me they need to chce my power bank. I gold them "sure, it has 26800mAh of capacity. Right within the allowed range".

    They keep checking. Then said: "I see that it's a 45 watt power bank"

    I answered "yeah, it has 45 watts of power, but the capacity is 26800..."

    Them: "Listen, I can read it's 45w, you're good to go"

    I went. Waiting for my plane right now. This interaction hurts so much...
