Putting my Baby to Work

3/14/2014

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

In an age of Ellen-induced selfie mania, the video he stars in asks: How young is too young to take a selfie? My five-month-old took his first one thanks to a new Android app called Baby Selfie. Never mind he still can't roll over.

A New Era of Cancer Treatment: Genetically-Targeted Therapy

8/14/2013

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 find the idea of personalized medicine based on genetics fascinating. I hope to do more stories on this subject matter soon.

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. Had to quiet the tummy rumblings as Glass took us through the process.

During the shoot, I managed to try the Google Glass out. Not just on myself but on the baby bump, of course! Looks like we made history with the youngest documented Google-Glass user.

The San Francisco 49ers, my home team, is in the Super Bowl this year. I've definitely got football fever, but not as badly as these couples!

My latest WSJ video looks at football-themed weddings. Some extreme sport's fans are turning in ring pillows for pig's skin. Now, a whole industry is being built around this developing craze.

A Trip to Bubblegum Alley

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

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.

Our Wedding Timelapse: Peter & Linda Freund from Linda Freund on Vimeo.

"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. Linda and Peter Freund's marriage is a living tribute to a shared future of hope and unity. What an honor to have been in that circle of love!" - Betty Reid Soskin

A Parent's 9/11 - what many called the shooting in Newtown Connecticut that left 20 children dead.

The horrific event brought tears to faces of the most hardened journalists in my newsroom.

The evening of the shooting I produced a quick package in hopes of helping Americans handle these raw emotions. In the piece, Lauren Kenney, bereavement services manager at Hospice By The Bay, offers some insights.

Nearly a week later, her thoughts remains relevant. As a nation, we are still grieving as we wrestle over gun-control policy.
