  1. Feel very fortunate to have lived in Cocoa Beach for 30+ years. I saw all but two Space Shuttle launches and many, many rocket launches. It was a way of life that never lost its appeal.

    Fun fact: my very first job was at the Polaris Motel, which was attached to the semi-famous Mousetrap Restaurant.

  4. Indialantic’s Best Restaurants in Space Coast

    Indialantic, Fla., is easy to overlook, in the shadow of nearby Melbourne Beach and the Space Coast’s more popular destinations, such as Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach. But for such a small town (with a population un…

  5. Lots of rockets today at Kennedy Space Center.

  6. October ended with my least-scheduled week of the entire month, a break I needed after all of this month’s travel. My sole outside-my-home work event happened Tuesday, an Ars Technica event about AI that let me catch up with some friends from that outstanding publication. I went from that directly to the Kamala Harris rally at the Ellipse–the first presidential-campaign event I’d attended since going to an Obama rally in 2012

    Patreon readers got an extra post from me this week: an essay unpacking the Washington Post’s shameful and self-destructive decision not to run a presidential endorsement and comparing that to other reasons newsroom reporters can resent their paper’s editorial page.

    10/28/2024: Apple Finally Replaces Lightning With USB-C on Keyboards, Mice, Trackpads, PCMag

    This is a post I should have been able to write years ago, but with less than two months left before a European Union mandate to switch to USB-C for peripherals, Apple finally killed off Lightning on its mice, trackpads and most of its keyboards. Which means I can finally replace the antique mouse that came with the iMac that I bought in 2009, which I’ve kept long after replacing that computer just because it runs on AA batteries.

    10/31/2024: Google Announces Play Store Tweaks to Entice More of Your Attention and Money, PCMag

    When a company gives me an advance copy of its news, I try to add some context to my own writeup so I’m not just recapping their PR. In this case, that context was the “service fees” that Google charges developers and the court cases challenging them and Google’s control over Android apps.

    10/31/2024: Passkey Adoption Reaches a New Milestone, Even With Uneven Support, PCMag

    The context I added to this post: how late and spotty passkey support from companies holds back this authentication standard, and how out-of-date directories of passkey support make it harder for people to find companies that do offer this stronger, easier sign-in option.

    11/2/2024: Let’s Fly: How to Watch a Rocket Launch From Florida’s Space Coast, PCMag

    This is a post I’d had in mind for years, but I couldn’t write it as a proper how-to until I’d finally watched a launch from a part of the Kennedy Space Center open to the general public–which I did when I traveled to Florida to see the Sept. 12 launch of AST SpaceMobile’s first five production satellites.

  14. A windsurfer went missing from Space Coast's shore
    The day after Idalia began to roar
    A Category Three storm with a mighty wave
    To this windsurfer, a terrible fate it gave
    Search teams searched both near and far
    The windsurfer was Florida's second Idalia-related death by far

  17. #today

    The empty #spacecoast #beach was sure beautiful. The long #laborday #weekend will bring out the crowds tomorrow.

  18. Finally had a mostly clear sky for the #moonrise tonight. This view is from the west side of the Indian River Lagoon.

  19. Saturday morning happenings in the backyard.

    Bees buzzing around the Adonidia Merrillii palm tree blooms.

    Discovered the complete carcus of a large three-horned florida beetle.
