Nepal flood, Arizona flood, 86 tornadoes in the Midwest, Indonesia earthquake, Balkan wildfire, Canada fires destroy homes, Korea/Philippines heavy rains flood streets, thousands still without power in Indiana after a single intense storm.

Bill Wong's Picks of the Week
This week includes a great wireless report, some halloween candy and how AI agents are helping with physical security.
- Special Report: Empowering the Edge @ Microwaves & RF
Deploying application solutions at the edge requires careful assessment, qualification, and integration to ensure optimal performance. Here’s a collection of articles to help you with those critical considerations. - Halloween Quiz: Candy and Skelly and Pumpkins, Oh My! @ Industry Week
Your house may be covered in fake cobwebs and giant skeletons, but take this quiz to find out how much you know about where Halloween costumes and decorations come from. - How AI Is Rewriting the Economics of Physical Security @ Security InfoWatch
As AI agents increasingly use APIs to operate security platforms, traditional integration models and proprietary systems face a fundamental shift in who controls the technology — and who profits from it.

I earned a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Masters in Computer Science from Rutgers University. I still do a bit of programming using everything from C and C++ to Rust and Ada/SPARK. I do a bit of PHP programming for Drupal websites. I have posted a few Drupal modules.
I still get a hand on software and electronic hardware. Some of this can be found on our Kit Close-Up video series. You can also see me on many of our TechXchange Talk videos. I am interested in a range of projects from robotics to artificial intelligence.
