Hello, Los Angeles.
After two years in Washington DC, I’ve picked up and moved to Los Angeles. The reason: a new job at the Los Angeles Times. I’ll be doing the same sort of geek work required by my previous job at The Center for Public Integrity, except for a larger audience. And in a more hospitable climate.
So, I guess I’m now officially part of the vaunted mainstream media. Try not to hold it against me.

Should I send you the spare bike or are you really going to contribute to all the smog in LA?

Thanks, Alejandra.
Hey Martin, that bike is way too nice for me. I feel like less of a man just looking at it. But I can report that I have been successfully commuting to work on Metro Rail. Most of the Angelenos look at me like I’m cracked when I’m tell them I’ve intentionally chosen not to drive, but I like the train. Smooth ride. Not too crowded. Less stressful than fighting traffic. Plus all that enviro-noise you’re up on.
