Google Glass comes into the restroom — and for men’s rooms, will that lead to more privacy? Just an alert that’s the topic of my column today at CNET, which you’ll find here: Google Glass and the men’s room urinals.

After seeing BuzzFeed’s “26 Reasons Kids Should Not Be Allowed On Facebook” post, I couldn’t help myself. It was yet another one of those stories that pulls a bait-and-switch, cleverly I’ll admit, and made me feel dumb for getting sucked into such stupid stuff, along with feeling despair that is this really where journalism is heading, [...]

I love infographics. I used to do infographics. So here’s an infographic I made as a little reminder to those who do infographics that taller is not better. Enough said. Apologies to Apple, where I borrowed the MacBook Pro image. MacBook Pros are great, by the way.

When I was a senior in high school, I was fortunate enough to attend a leadership camp that taught me that we all have prejudices, but those prejudices don’t make us racists. There’s a huge gap between those two things that I fear gets terribly lost when discussions of race come up. The Tech Is [...]

I find it hard to believe that anyone from the CBS Corporation would try to dictate what CBS News could and couldn’t cover because of CBS business issues. Trying to interfere with broadcast news like that is fodder for movies and TV shows like “Broadcast News” and “The Newsroom.” It’s no more acceptable to think CBS would interfere with [...]

In my city of Newport Beach, they’ve pushed the harbor to extremes. Today, we had flooding in a few places. It would have been far worse [...]

However, Pavley’s office tells me it doesn’t apply. You can read more about SB 152 here and here. It required the State Land Commission [...]

Next Tuesday, the Newport Beach City Council meets again about assessing fair market rental rates on residential docks. But what’s the fair market rate for space over pubic waters that’s unlikely to be rented to anyone but the adjacent property owner? That’s a key question I’ve had in the current debate over proposed increases. Newport [...]

Next week is the 104th Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade, an amazing and fun tradition in my city that until now has only failed to run during World War I and World War II. Now it’s under threat from a different war, one some residential dock owners are waging against the Newport Beach City Council, [...]

Orange County has a number of tollroads run by Transportation Corridor Agencies. We have little “FasTrak” transponders in our cars, stuck to our windshields, and we pay a toll on the infrequent occasions we use one of these. But with LA County getting its first tollroad, it suddenly made much more sense to abandon my [...]
