Just three days after returning from one transatlantic trip, I’m heading back across the pond–this time, to Milan for the Consumer Technology Association’s CES Unveiled event there.

Normal people had their 2025 federal taxes filed no later than April 15.

After going a whole two weeks without using a passport, I’m flying to Dublin Monday night for the International AI Summit, where I’ll be doing at least one podcast interview for Enterprise Ireland’s Next Innovation podcast (with my airfare and lodging cov…

Twice in the last two months, I’ve received correction requests from publicists for tech companies–which, sadly enough, is not that out of the ordinary.

The end of the month often brings a flurry of articles as I try to max out what I can put on an invoice for each client.

Over the last six months, one of the apps I’ve used most on my phone has been one of the few that I can only use on my phone–Google’s Pixel-only Recorder.

My second trip in two weeks to a city with a name beginning in “A” features much less flying time than this past week’s visit to Amsterdam for the HumanX AI conference: I’m off to Atlanta Monday afternoon for SCTE TechExpo.

AMSTERDAM I could have written this entire post in the 4-6 a.m. timeslot, because I have been awake for those hours every night this week since arriving here Tuesday for the HumanX conference.

I’m in the middle of one of my shorter pauses between trips this year–I got home Sunday evening from visiting Los Angeles for Cranky Dorkfest, my second trip to that excellent avgeek meetup, and Monday afternoon I start my journey to Amsterdam for the Hum…

Almost every election I’ve seen in Virginia has featured an amendment to the commonwealth’s constitution–and almost all of those revisions have been fine-print fare.

Somehow, we’ve now traveled more than a quarter of a century since Sept. 11, 2001.

I did not wake up too early from jet lag Wednesday morning in a strange hotel room about 2,400 miles west of home, and then I didn’t have to spend an hour and change watching an extended presentation from Apple before scrambling to write and file multiple…

I have rarely appreciated having a Monday off as much as I do right now–only a few days after a nine-day stretch in which I traveled from home to San Diego and back and then to Orlando and back and then to Dublin and back.

Cancer has already stolen a disturbing number of friends and family members over the past dozen years: my fellow tech columnist Steve Wildstrom, my gifted Washington Post colleague Bill Walsh, my digital-journalist pal Mandy Jenkins, and my father-in-law…

About four years ago here, I wrote here that I had to bring my family to the Kennedy Space Center someday so they could see why I’m so crazy about watching rocket launches in person.

I managed the dubious achievement of spending an extra hour or so on different Dulles Airport taxiways two days in a row–and one of those was much easier to deal with than the other.

After two weeks at home, I have about the shortest possible trip to the West Coast coming up: Qualcomm is hosting a “6G Leadership Day” event in La Jolla, Calif., on Wednesday and covering travel costs for invited journalists.

For years, Flickr has been the site of choice for people who love photography and hate drastic platform changes.

Having zero in-person work events on my calendar this week was a real treat after spending the prior week in Vegas bouncing between two conferences.

Checking your e-mail in the middle of a baseball game is a selfish and crass thing to do.

I wrapped up this year’s fourth and final business trip to Las Vegas on Friday, and now I’m looking forward to having almost five months without the City of Bad Decisions in my schedule before CES inevitably draws me back there. 8/4/2026: The Generative AI
