Weekly output: Most Innovative Companies, Serve Robotics, Android 17, United Airlines’ ambitions, Polymarket’s pop-up bar

CHICAGO–This is one of my favorite cities in the U.S., but it doesn’t show up in my work travel as often as I’d like. So I’m delighted that the Online News Association decided to move its annual conference from late summer to early spring and then stage this year’s event here–in a hotel that should be familiar to everybody who’s seen The Fugitive.

Patreon readers got a bonus post that I’d meant to have written weeks earlier: a recap of MWC Barcelona in which I also gave away a global eSIM to the first reader to ask for it.

3/24/2026: The most innovative robotics and engineering companies of 2026, Fast Company

This list, the product of months of research and editorial back-and-forth, finally emerged online this week. And then we had to run a quick correction after one of the companies honored said that we’d mentioned an achievement that they did not want disclosed.

3/25/2026: Delivery Robots Have a Mapping Problem, PCMag

I sat down in a hotel lobby in Austin during SXSW with MJ Burk Chun, co-founder and vice president of product and design at Serve Robotics, to talk about the issues that company is working to address as it tries to scale up having four-wheeled robots cart food deliveries to customers.

3/27/2026: Google Ships Latest Android 17 Beta. Here’s What’s New, PCMag

In between having so many longer stories to write, I was happy to get one that I could bang out in an hour or so.

3/28/2026: United’s New Upgrades Aim to Keep You Online and Fully Charged at 35,000 Feet, PCMag

My week started with me flying to another one of United’s hubs–with the airline covering my airfare and lodging–for its United Elevated event at LAX. In addition to looping me into UA’s ambitions for its onboard product, this event doubled as a reunion with some of the avgeek journalists I met at Cranky Dorkfest in September and with my former Washington Post colleague Lori Aratani, who interviewed United CEO Scott Kirby onstage Tuesday morning.

3/29/2026: Pints meet prop bets: Polymarket’s “Situation Room” pop-up bar in DC, Ars Technica

I thought I saw an opportunity to write for this occasional client for the first time since the summer of 2023; fortunately, my editor then and now agreed.

Plantman and Blondie Review: A Weird Indie Comedy That Grows on You

I’m sitting out SXSW

The second weekend of this March will not treat me to a few things that have been constants in my late-winter business travel since 2012: a taco- and BBQ-centric diet, the squawks of grackles, panel FOMO, and sore feet from walking up and down the streets of Austin.

I’m breaking that streak of covering SXSW in person (including moderating panels at this conference in 2012 and 2019) not because I’m tired of that event or its excesses but because of other events.

One is MWC Barcelona, which this year takes place a week later than in previous years. That scheduling means I’d either spend barely half a day at home between returning from Spain and flying out to Austin–or I’d have to fly from Barcelona to Austin, resulting in 12 days in a row away from my family.

The other is HumanX, a new AI conference in Las Vegas that runs from March 9 to 13–overlapping half of SXSW–and whose organizers saw fit to invite me to moderate a few panels there. As much as I vastly prefer Austin to Vegas, comped travel beats paying my own way, especially when that involves SXSW-inflated lodging expenses. So that officially shut the door on my going to Marketing Spring Break.

The final plot twist to my late-winter schedule came with the Web Summit people asking if I’d like to speak at Web Summit Qatar. I had passed on that last year because this new addition to their conference lineup overlapped with MWC, but this time it happens the week before. And since I’d heard good things about last year’s event and was curious to see that part of the Middle East, I’m off to Doha in a week and change.

The catch here is that because Web Summit Qatar itself ends only two days before the first MWC pre-conference events start, I’d have little more than a day at home between crossing the Atlantic westbound and then flying back across it eastbound. Instead of that overdose of jet lag, I will spend 12 days in a row away from my wife and our kid–but not entirely away from family, since I’ll stay with my wife’s sister and her family in London for those between-conference days. I know I’ll appreciate that chance to reconnect with a part of my non-work life, even if it comes with elevated odds of my stepping on a Lego.
