![]() My five-month-old made his WSJ debut this week. We're starting his on-camera training early. It was such fun.

Never mind he still can't roll over. A growing number of cancer practices are sequencing the DNA of tumors to uncover their genetic abnormalities. The aim: to pair a drug with the specific mutation fueling a patient’s disease. WSJ reporter Ron Winslow and I spoke with UC San Francisco's Dr. Trever Bivona about the latest developments and challenges in genetically-targeted cancer treatment.

I just produced a fun video that looks at a Kitchme, a cooking application designed for Google Glass. It wasn't easy shooting video of a steamy, delectable dish at seven-months pregnant.

I took a quick day trip to San Luis Obispo, CA to produce this video. Camera in hand, Horkheimer's words echoed through my mind: "It is not that chewing gum undermines metaphysics, but that it is metaphysics." It's Okay to be Naughty in Bubblegum Alley 1.18.2013 Gum chewing may be going out of style, with overall sales down in the U.S., but there's one place where it's still poppin': California's Bubblegum Alley. For decades, visitors have smashed gum on the walls. Hygienic? No way! But, the tradition has stuck. "There may be nothing more magical than a wedding actually performed by a tiny universe of friends and family (16 in all) in a sylvan forest glade with 7 giant redwoods lovingly providing a nesting place for an equally magical small house that breathed love and tranquility from every corner.
