Metrology, product safety, bamboo, baking. Occasional dabbler in esoteric technology. Alive since 345 ppm.
Same as it ever was: Wired always hyped the techno-ocracy in the form of free advertising. From 1997:

Experimental Brioche. Turned out OK...Grating butter did wonders for the smoothness. But holy mother of oven pop/rise. That was unexpected. #bread #breadsky #baking

Who knew a Guralp #Seismometer breakout box would be so enthralling for a child...Or budding #seismologist?

Well #booksky, this is in fact a Children's book. I'm guessing in 1995, children's publisher editors were not as in tune with some slang. Though the main character is Mr. Bear... Maybe they were?

Do your Christmas light have a safety certification? They should have a UL, ETL, MET or other US NRTL mark. If they don't, they may start fires or shock you. Remember too: the CE mark means nothing in the US and is often fraudulently used. @cpsc.gov has good info for a safe Christmas.
