LAS VEGAS–I’m typing this from a press room in the Las Vegas Convention Center barely three months after I spent too much time in that facility for CES. Credit or blame for this trip goes to a different Washington-area trade group, the National Association of Broadcasters. Tuesday, I will be moderating an NAB Show panel about the state of content creation that features two people who are better at Instagram than me: Juliana Broste and my fellow former USA Today columnist Jefferson Graham.

4/13/2026: Journalists Applaud the Internet Archive’s Role In Preserving the Public Record, Fight for the Future

A staffer with Public Knowledge e-mailed me a few weeks ago to ask if I would be willing to sign a letter supporting the Internet Archive’s efforts to preserve the history of the Web and possibly provide a quote about how I’d used the Archive. Having repeatedly relied on the Archive’s Wayback Machine to link back to my own past published work, I said I would be happy to do that–having already donated $100 to that San Francisco non-profit in January.

4/13/2026: Roblox Adds Account Restrictions for Younger Users, Expands Age Verification, PCMag

I attended a press roundtable Monday morning featuring some Roblox trust-and-safety executives, allowing me to enrich this writeup of the platform’s changes with quotes from that conversation.

4/15/2026: T-Mobile Grounds Free In-Flight Wi-Fi Benefit for United Airlines Passengers, PCMag

I had the dumb luck to see this change firsthand on a flight from Denver to San Jose Tuesday, then needed the rest of that day to get some responses from T-Mobile and United. The airline’s switch to free Starlink connectivity will fix this problem, but we are months away from that rollout reaching a significant fraction of United’s mainline fleet.

4/17/2026: Like It or Not, Google Wants to Be Your AI Travel Buddy This Summer, PCMag

I wrote up this post off an embargoed copy of Google’s announcement that we had to correct the next day because I had missed two of the finer points of this bundle of news. In my halfhearted defense, it is more work than you might realize keeping track of Google’s ongoing efforts to infuse AI into its existing services.

4/17/2026: How NTT Research’s Upgrade 2026 Helps Silicon Valley Get Ready for The Future, Mark Vena

My industry-analyst pal had do a quick video from NTT Research’s Upgrade conference in San Jose, Calif.–with that firm covering my travel costs–about some of its initiatives.

4/18/2026: 2026 Consumer Electronics Show and Lots More!, Potomac Area Technology and Computer Society/Osher Lifelong Learning Institute Personal Computer User Group/Washington Apple Pi

Despite that title–picked by the organizers at PATACS, pronounced “Pat-Aces”–I spent more time talking about other topics. Among them: my switch from Evernote to Obsidian just in time for CES, the sad state of tech policy in Washington, and my takes on self-driving cars and what’s befallen the Washington Post. As I have in previous appearances before these folks, I showed up with a bag of trade-show swag and gave away all of it.

4/19/2026: Blue Origin Rocket Launches, Then Loses AST SpaceMobile BlueBird Satellite, PCMag

I watched the third launch of Blue Origin’s New Glenn rocket on my phone as I was walking up to the security checkpoint at Dulles early Sunday morning, started writing up what I thought was a successful launch, then learned–via painfully slow inflight WiFi–that New Glenn’s second stage had failed to deliver AST’s mobile-broadband BlueBird satellite to the intended orbit. This is a real black eye for Blue that should outweigh its achievement in reflying a New Glenn booster and then landing it on a barge in the Atlantic.

This week took me to one place I know far too well, Las Vegas, and one I’d never visited before, Mojave Air and Space Port. I’m not done writing about what I learned at the first destination during my fifth time covering the Black Hat information-security conference, and I haven’t started the story I owe from my second stop checking up on Boom Supersonic.

8/7/2024: The Biden administration has been trying to improve the U.S.’s cybersecurity—no thanks to Congress, Fast Company

The idea for this piece started at Black Hat last year, when I was struck by the level of detail in the advice government officials offered in talks at this event. I quizzed a handful of security experts for their thoughts about how the Biden administration had fared in its efforts to strengthen the nation’s information-security defenses–then after President Biden dropped out of the presidential campaign to pass the torch to Vice President Harris, I had to circle back to most of them to get their perspective about how she might continue that effort.

8/7/2024: X Sues Advertising Group Over Boycotts: ‘Now, It Is War,’ Musk Says, PCMag

Since the legal complaint didn’t recap all the things that the former Twitter has done under Elon Musk’s chaotic misrule to make itself repulsive to name-brand advertisers, I used this post to remind readers of that recent history.

8/9/2024: Feds Make a Pitch for Election Work: Here’s What I’ve Learned as a Poll Worker, PCMag

The panel that opened Black Hat Wednesday morning featured Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency director Jen Easterly inviting people curious about election security to talk to the people who run their elections–and asking attendees to serve as poll workers themselves. Since I have been doing that since early 2020, I thought this was a good opportunity to share some of my own experiences. 

8/9/2024: Signal Developer Explains Why Early Encrypted Messaging Tools Flopped, PCMag

The first part of Signal developer Moxie Marlinspike’s Thursday-morning appearance at Black Hat was a philosophical and somewhat meandering talk that didn’t look to me like grist for a post. But then his conversation onstage with Black Hat founder Jeff Moss surfaced some good insights about the intersections of security and usability.

8/9/2024: The Only Real Problem With Black Hat’s Wi-Fi Was the People Using It, PCMag 

Since I first covered Black Hat in 2018, the panel in which the people who run the event’s WiFi recount the poor life choices made by attendees on the network has been a reliable source of enlightenment as well as amusement.

@josephcox Who here thinks they'll next target the casinos in the #PRC's second #bankingcolony of #Macau used for laundering #Chinese assets? Any bets? 🧐

Didn't think so either...

Not that I'd personally care about the welfare of casino operators much anywhere.
