## What Jamie wrote

Okay, so before I get to this I need to share that I've recently become a bit of a candle person, if that is a thing. We had all these candles and I just decided to start lighting them and placing them in prominent places. Then we were at a market and I saw a wood wick candle, and that intrigued me so I got one. The wood wick makes a crackling sound when it burns, and has a broad flame. I liked that even more. And then, and here is where friends that have known me for a long time will not be surprised, I’m looking up info on making your own candles and then I have a box arrive with my supplies from [The Wooden Wick Co.](https://woodenwick.com). So, yeah, I've sort of gotten into candles. 🕯

Now, given that and given that I love tech I should be all about this thing? No. Why in the world does anyone need a smart candle? We are in some odd space-time loop where having a candle light when I do something on my phone is just weird. It even highlights that it is a **real-flame**. Yes, that is what the innovative technology of a match, or the amazing lighter, can do so well, over and over again. 🤦‍♂️
