Some news: Today is my first day at the Wall Street Journal!
I'll be reporting from L.A., tracking big California stories and digging into the nexus between politics and tech. Really excited to get started.
For coffees, tips, ideas, gossip, etc., I'm at Laura.Nelson@wsj.com.

This is happening right outside @Snapchat’s first offices. Squatters (not homeless, squatters) call north of Rose Ave “Methlehem.” @mikebonin @ericgarcetti it is past time to clean this up. (CC: @RadioChio)
Three young men proudly admit to taking advantage of the lack of enforcement, in order to camp for free on the boardwalk. They are issued $60 tickets for camping on the beach, which are then being paid for by a homeless services center nearby.
