EDITOR’S NOTE With all the political and environmental Sturm und Drang consuming the planet these days, it’s reassuring to remember that technology marches on. (Okay, so the advent of artifi cial intelligence may not be all that reassuring, but we’ll just table that.) Is your phone screen too small for movie-watching? No problem. Consider a smartphone that projects fi lms on the wall. Tired of mowing your lawn? A robot lawn mower will do the job for you. Family planning? A new gadget will enable you to pinpoint your ovulation. Our lives may be pretty darn comfortable, against the largely Hobbesian backdrop of human history, but there’s no reason why our stuff can’t be even more convenient, yes? Brenda Rees combs the fi eld for 10 standouts in new personal tech. Of course, some new technology does a lot more than make life easier — it saves lives. We’re talking about biotech, which is burgeoning in Pasadena. Marcia Vickers surveys the biotech landscape here and fi nds that the city is on track to become a major research hub, along with San Francisco and Boston. That’s partly due to the presence of Caltech, a world-class lab for new technology — and sometimes the results are even better than expected. Kathleen Kelleher looks back at the Spitzer Space Telescope’s 15 years in operation — six times its predicted lifespan — and the important discoveries that followed. —Irene Lacher EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Irene Lacher ART DIRECTOR Stephanie Torres ASSISTANT ART DIRECTOR Richard Garcia PRODUCTION DESIGNERS Rochelle Bassarear EDITOR-AT-LARGE Bettijane Levine COPY EDITOR John Seeley CONTRIBUTORS Denise Abbott, Leslie Bilderback, Léon Bing, Martin Booe, Michael Cervin, Scarlet Cheng, Richard Cunningham, Noela Hueso, Kathleen Kelleher, Jana Monji, Brenda Rees, Ilsa Setziol, John Sollenberger, Nancy Spiller ACCOUNT EXECUTIVES Brenda Clarke, Mari Carmen Martinez, Lisa Chase, Alexandra Valdes ADVERTORIAL CONTRIBUTING EDITOR Bruce Haring HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER Andrea Baker PAYROLL Linda Lam ACCOUNTING Perla Castillo, Yiyang Wang, Quinton Wright OFFICE MANAGER Ann Turrietta PUBLISHER Dina Stegon arroyo FINE LIVING IN THE GREATER PASADENA AREA SOUTHLAND PUBLISHING V.P.
