"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

From what I can tell, most people at the interactive portion are there to make professional connections, build buzz for their brand, and learn some new tricks for staying relevant in the ever-changing and ever-growing media landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as you arrive at SXSWi, it becomes obvious there's a good chance whatever you do or say will be \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23swswi\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted\u003c/a>, hashtagged, livestreamed and Facebooked. Unnerving as that can be, the constant archiving comes in handy while you try to be in three places at once.

Very cute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The award for \u003cstrong>worst marketing\u003c/strong> or rather worst marketer goes to my in-car host during my Volt test drive. Telling me that a sunroof is not an option because it uses too much energy does not instill a lot of confidence. Though it was a smooth ride. Who knows -- if the tax-subsidy is right, I just might be in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most inspirational presentation\u003c/strong> goes to Larry Smith, editor of \u003ca href=\"http://www.smithmag.net/\" target=\"_blank\">SMITH Magazine\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/a/forum/R201001121000\" target=\"_blank\">six-word-memoir\u003c/a> fame. His \"\u003ca href=\"http://schedule.sxsw.com/events/event_IAP6959\" target=\"_blank\">How to Create an Internet Phenomenon for Peanuts\u003c/a>\" didn't necessarily offer groundbreaking ideas but it was humorous, on-point, and empowering. I think many of us left that room with renewed commitment to our ideas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \u003cstrong>\"that's just creepy\"\u003c/strong> category, the fans walking around with imitation Mike Tyson tattoos painted on their faces win by a landslide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the \"\u003cstrong>creepy but funny\" category\u003c/strong>: A fan addressing keynote speaker \u003ca href=\"http://schedule.sxsw.com/events/event_IAP000273\" target=\"_blank\">Felicia Day\u003c/a> with a \"Hellloow Felicia\" that went on a tad too long in a voice that was a bit too low.

My other favorite was the \u003ca href=\"http://mashable.com/sxswi/\" target=\"_blank\">Mashable SXSWi House\u003c/a> party, which went old-school with free play on arcade games like shuffle board, air hockey and foosball. Like 2001 all over again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Most prepared start-up pitch\u003c/strong> goes to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.juntoboxfilms.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Junto Box Films\u003c/a>. Many of the start-ups I talked too at SXSWi seem to be marketing an improvement on an existing technology or service. When pressed to explain how their version is better than what's on the market, frankly, a lot of the reps fell short. But the guys at Junto Box Films were totally prepared. I challenged them on how their service differs from \u003ca href=\"http://www.kickstart.org/\"> Kickstart\u003c/a>. Junto Box's answer was well thought out and well delivered. In case you're wondering what the difference is, Kickstart basically crowdsources the funding of projects where as Junto Box crowdsources the slush pile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Tim Gunn award\u003c/strong> (told you I made these up on the plane) goes to \u003ca href=\"http://sixitemsorless.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Six Items or Less\u003c/a>.

That comes down to two outfits composed of a pair of pants, a shirt and a sweater or jacket. Makes you want to try, doesn't it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> The Tradeshow\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tradeshow featured an impressive (if not puzzling) assortment of organizations ranging from the Fulbright Program to MapQuest to Google. \u003ca href=\"http://www.spacecamp.com/\">Space Camp\u003c/a> even had a booth there. And self-proclaimed geek-humor was on full display.

Many of the start-ups I talked too at SXSWi seem to be marketing an improvement on an existing technology or service. When pressed to explain how their version is better than what's on the market, frankly, a lot of the reps fell short. But the guys at Junto Box Films were totally prepared. I challenged them on how their service differs from \u003ca href=\"http://www.kickstart.org/\"> Kickstart\u003c/a>. Junto Box's answer was well thought out and well delivered.

We are committed to working with our regulators to meet this deadline. We have been examining possible alternatives for the past few months in anticipation of such a filing. While this advances our timeline, we are prepared to file by the deadline set by the CPUC. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We understand that some of our customers have concerns related to radio frequency from SmartMeters. Although the great weight of scientific evidence demonstrates that the RF from SmartMeters is safe, we take our customers' concerns seriously. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In light of our customers' concerns, we are evaluating options we hope will alleviate customer concerns and still enable PG&E to upgrade all of its customers to SmartMeters.
