  1. Hackers don’t just forecast cyber risk, they demonstrate it.

    The DEF CON 33 Hackers’ Almanack report is blunt, technical, and long overdue. The Almanack translates real exploits into a policy roadmap leaders can’t afford to ignore. #CyberCivilDefense #Take9

  2. Weekly output: Uber and Lucid’s robotaxi, Craig Newmark on dodging scams, Jensen Huang on engineering, Better Offline podcast

    I got back from CES Friday morning, which means I’ve now more or less caught up with my sleep deficit from those frenetic five days in Las Vegas but still have a lot of writing to do.

    1/5/2026: This Is the Robotaxi That Lucid and Nuro Are Building for Uber, PCMag

    I wrote the first version of this off an embargoed copy of Uber’s announcement, then did an in-person inspection of Uber’s forthcoming self-driving version of the Lucid Gravity electric vehicle and updated the story two days later.

    1/7/2026: Craiglist’s founder has some simple rules for not losing your mind—or money—on the internet, Fast Company

    My video interview with Craig Newmark happened back in December–without any PR minder on the call–but online scams are an unfortunately evergreen topic.

    1/7/2026: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang: This Is Why I’m Lucky to Be an Engineer, PCMag

    It was a treat to see Huang accept the engineering group IEEE’s annual medal of honor at a private event and gush a little about his chosen profession–the same one that my dad picked in college.

    1/8/2026: CES 2026: Part Seven (Thursday), Better Offline

    As I did last year, I wrapped up CES by joining tech gadfly Ed Zitron’s Better Offline podcast at the hotel suite he booked in Vegas for a lengthy conversation about what we saw at the show and what that says about the state of technology. My fellow guests in this Thursday night recording session: standup comedian Chloe Radlciffe and fellow writers Garrison Davis, Robert EvansWestin Lee, and Ed Ongweso. After some post-recording banter, I went from there to the airport and fell asleep within maybe 10 minutes of takeoff.
