Announcing our new book: Wandering America 🇺🇸

A 400-pg photographic odyssey through America by the brilliant @AlexKittoe. From mountain to mountain, coast to coast, and from the biggest cities to the sleepiest towns, it's a big book for a big continent.

Today is the 2nd birthday of @arenamagdotcom

Two years, eight magazine issues, two books, and over 100,000 lbs of paper later... We're just getting started.

We are so grateful to the customers, advertisers, and many friends who have made this print media adventure possible 🇺🇸

[Gerard Dawson @GerardDawson3]

I really enjoy getting the quarterly @arenamagdotcom. The photos, layout, and reporting are all high quality. And it’s only a few times a year, so it becomes a special occasion for reading about American innovation. Highly recommend.

[Charles Rosenbauer @bzogrammer]

When I post plots of the CPU I'm working on, people are surprised at how organic it looks.

If you look through @arenamagdotcom's Silicon book, especially at chips from the past 10-15 years, most also look very organic.

The organic-looking parts are logic.
The grids are memory.

"If the submarine cable is the hidden architecture of our age, then the task ahead is to build more of it with confidence."

In @arenamagdotcom, @JoshuaTLevine and @LEHogg outline the history and importance of the submarine cables connecting our modern world.

1,188,574 miles of submarine cables run across the ocean floor and weave the world together. In the latest from Arena 008: At Sea, @LEHogg and @JoshuaTLevine on the wondrous yet hidden infrastructure powering the modern world.

[Luke Hogg @LEHogg]

The world’s most consequential infrastructure is a bundle of glass fibers under miles of water, doing its work so quietly that we only remember it exists when it breaks.

@JoshuaTLevine and I unpack the complex world of submarine cables.

When we published our longform piece on Saronic last month for Arena Issue 008: At Sea, one of the big outstanding questions was... where would the company build its "greenfield" shipyard?

Today: the answer. South Texas. Check out our piece to learn more about Saronic ⬇️

[Saronic @Saronic]

Today, we're proud to announce the future home of Port Alpha: Brownsville, Texas.

Our next-generation shipyard moves from vision to reality through a planned investment of more than $3 billion to establish one of the world's most advanced shipyards, built for software-defined shipbuilding and autonomous maritime systems.

Port Alpha is expected to generate more than $160 billion in regional economic impact for Cameron County and $264.5 billion for the State of Texas, while creating up to 10,000 direct jobs — which makes it one of the largest economic development projects in modern Texas history.

More than a shipyard, Port Alpha represents a new model for American shipbuilding — combining advanced manufacturing, software-defined production, and autonomy at unprecedented scale. We're proud to continue building in Texas.

"The Pentagon announced they're doing an LCCM buy from Anduril; our Barracuda-500 class. We will produce 7,000 barracudas in 2027. Deliveries on Tomahawks and Patriots are both less than 1,000 a year, so we will make ten times more Barracuda-500s than Patriots or Tomahawks."
