    GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – "As winter temperatures settle into Northeast Wisconsin, counties across the region are activating warming centers and emergency shelters to help protect residents from the cold.

    "Local officials are urging anyone without #ReliableHeat, or anyone who may be vulnerable during #ExtremeWeather, to use the warming locations available in their communities. Many sites operate during regular business hours, while several overnight shelters expand capacity during the winter months.

    Officials recommend calling ahead, as hours and availability may change based on staffing, weather conditions or demand.

  11. Weekly output: USPS NGDV, spectrum policy, Pixel Drop, Uber’s robotaxi hopes, AI + cybersecurity, Tesla Files, Cerebras, New Glenn launch and landing, Cory Doctorow

    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.

  13. Weekly output: USPS NGDV, spectrum policy, Pixel Drop, Uber’s robotaxi hopes, AI + cybersecurity, Tesla Files, Cerebras, New Glenn launch and landing, Cory Doctorow

    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.

  15. A slightly longer video that shows me starting up the motor, running it at relatively low RPM and amperage, slowing it down and stopping it... and then the system automatically Parks the motor and propeller in the correct orientation. You cannot see the motor from this location. When I perform high power test outdoors, I will set up a camera that looks at the propeller and spinner.

  16. A short video showing what happens behind me when I arm the motor switch. You hear the contactor click, cooling fans start, and a status light comes on at the side of the high power motor controller.

  17. Successful indoor low-power test of the glider's electric motor system.

    (I need to tidy up some wiring, but everything is working nominally.)

    The first two comments will contain short, somewhat boring videos of these indoor tests.

    Soon, I'll move the fuselage outdoors, tie it down securely, add the propeller and spinner, and test at higher power levels. (Max current that the controller will deliver is 200 amps.)

  18. Installing the electric motor in the nose of the glider.

    The motor is not large, but can deliver 23Kw max power briefly during takeoff and initial climb.

    It is mounted to a bulkhead with viscoelastic pucks that help absorb some vibration.

    The final photo shows the motor in place, but the propellor blades and spinner have not yet been installed. It also shows a cowl flap for motor cooling...which is an unusual feature on a glider.

  19. Installing electronics and batteries for the glider's front engine sustainer system.

    front-electric-sustainer.com/

    First photo - the two connectors for sensing and control of the high-amperage motor controller. They are identical form factor. This means I can connect them to the wrong sockets if I'm inattentive.

    Second photo - The motor controller's connectors. When I install this controller in the fuselage belly, I will have limited visibility on this face with its labels. Note that the labels for J1 and J2 are underneath the sockets...hidden from my view. I have painted Roman numerals I and II above the sockets. I can see those markings after installation.

    Third photo - This is a high-current system. The fuse at the positive end of the battery pack is rated at 325 amps.

    4th - wiring diagram. High-current cables marked with dots.

  24. A cool Beatle that I saw at the EAA AirVenture, yesterday

  25. The glider cockpit now has fiber optics!

    Why?

    The FLARM collision warning system is an electronic box that sits behind the instrument panel, but on that box is a power/status light.

    I wanted that status light 'transported' to the panel...so I get a length of fiber optic plastic (3mm diameter), put a blob of thickened epoxy around one end...sanded/polished it, and mounted that blob in front of the status light.

    How often do folks use fiber optics in this manner in homebuilt aircraft?

  26. New sport pilot regulations remove LSA weight limit, expand privileges

    "Aircraft with maximum speeds of 250 knots calibrated airspeed, retractable gear, and constant-speed propellers will now qualify as light sport aircraft under the highly anticipated Modernization of Special Airworthiness Certification (MOSAIC), which dramatically expands the LSA category and sport pilot privileges. Aircraft with flaps-down stall speeds up to 61 KCAS will be able to be certified as LSAs, and pilots will be able to operate aircraft with clean stall speeds of up to 59 KCAS under sport pilot privileges."

    "Changes for sport pilots and light sport repairmen take effect 90 days after the publication of the final rule, with changes for LSA certification following a year after the publication."
