  1. April Fool's Day 2012: Don't trust the media (seriously)

    Today is April Fool's Day, also known as All Fool's Day and, unofficially perhaps, Don't Trust the Media Day.

  2. Not-so-foolish April Fool's gags

    Did you hear it? Cheers of elation that turned to "aw, man!" when people realized that there was no "Meh" button coming to Facebook, new"Star Trek" movie starring George Takei or GPS-enabled sippy cup for your kid. April Fool's gags, sure. But not bad ideas, really.

  3. Counter Intelligence: A marijuana-infused meal? Well ...

    When Nguyen Tran emailed to tell me about an extravaganza he was setting up at an acquaintance's house, a special herb dinner in which each of the many courses would involve fresh marijuana, I did not necessarily beg to be included in the feast. The first time I met Tran, on a social-media panel somewhere, he happened to be wearing a banana suit, and he has been known to show up to food events dressed as a tauntaun from "The Empire Strikes Back." I like his Starry Kitchen, a pan-Asian lunchroom in a downtown office-building food court, and I admire the running pop-up restaurant he mounts with chef Laurent Quenioux. But the notion of an “herb” dinner wasn't especially my thing. The last time I had sampled this particular herb was many years ago, in the course of reporting a story on Snoop Dogg and his 15 pit bulls, and its culinary uses were not apparent even back then.

  6. Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet combines open air with utility

    Convertibles aren't known for their utility. Cars that can be driven as open-air vehicles or hermetically sealed at the push of a button don't top the shopping lists of many moms who've got groceries to haul and kids to shuttle to skateboard lessons.

  9. California needs to refigure its taxes

    Perhaps you heard the dealership's radio spots over the weekend and into Monday: "Don't tell Arnold!" The point being that it was the last few days to buy a car (or anything else) in California before the state sales tax increase. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the no-new-taxes governor, is now maligned in popular culture as the tax collector in chief after he presided over the February deal that finally got California a budget and warded off default, for now, but raised taxes for the next two years at least.
