🕵🏼♂️ Most people assume the story ends when the internet gets built.
It doesn't.
There's still $22 billion left to decide—and where that money goes could shape everything from digital skills training to community internet access.
Who decides? What will it actually be spent on? And why are states watching so closely?
We're unpacking it live on July 22.

Weekly output: LocalSend, Mark Vena podcast, AST SpaceMobile launch
I hope you all are enjoying the liminal time between Christmas and New Year’s–or, as I’ve come to think of it over the last 25-plus years, my last moments of occupational tranquility before work returns with force in the form of CES.
(I’ve used some of that semi-idle time to write an extra post for Patreon readers about the free trips that I didn’t take in the last quarter of this year.)
12/22/2025: This Free App Makes Transferring Files Between Devices Ridiculously Easy, PCMag
Quizzing LocalSend’s developer via e-mail taught me a lesson in how namespaces and nations can mix. As in: He goes by Tien Do Nam, in Vietnam last names come first, he lives in Berlin, so I thought to ask for his surname. He replied that the correct full name is Do Nam Tien, while his German documents list him as Tien Do Nam.
12/24/2025: Ep 117 SmartTechCheck Podcast — Trump’s impact on tech, AI data centers and energy, FCC and Google, Mark Vena
As the token Washingtonian on this podcast, I took up the first item on the agenda. My take on President Trump’s tech policy wasn’t all bad–it looks like the government is in line to save tens of billions of dollars in broadband-buildout costs, assuming that Amazon Leo satellite broadband comes online on schedule–but I can’t call it anything close to good overall.
12/24/2025: AST SpaceMobile Launches Its Most Powerful Direct-to-Cell Satellite Yet, PCMag
Was I going to use this post as an opportunity to remind PCMag readers about India’s impressive spaceflight ambitions? Absolutely.

Trump Pretends To Block State AI Laws; Media Pretends That’s Legal

All began with an exhibition on the increasingly rare #craft of #bead #embroidery. How could young people be inspired?
The answer is simple: instead of showing amateurs how they fail at difficult techniques, give them something simple that rewards them with success. That's how this #pendant came about (more in the alt text). You can make such pendants with every precious #braid you find! Fixed on a jeans scrap. At the end glued on cardboard for being stiff.
