"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.",

Nobody, even in this golden age of technology, knows why. And no one wants to unscrew the bulb to find out…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lightbulb is about 3 inches long and slightly rounder than a modern lightbulb. Inside the hand-blown glass is a jumble of carbon filament that radiates about 4 watts of soft orange light – about the strength of a nightlight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its workings may be a mystery, but it’s probably the most well-documented lightbulb in history. It was first installed in a Livermore firehouse on L Street in 1901, replacing the kerosene lanterns that helped firefighters load hoses and shovels for night calls. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/02/05/BA5M1HIJB1.DTL\">Full article\u003c/a>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nThat’s insane!

Thomas Edison’s first commercial bulb in 1881 lasted for 1,500 hours; soon, bulb-makers were proudly advertising 2,500-hour ulbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 1924, the main bulb manufacturers in America and Europe secretly formed a cartel to limit the average life of lamps to 1,000 hours, according to internal documents, Dannoritzer said. By the 1940s, 1,000-hour bulbs became the standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, the cartel was exposed, and in 1953, General Electric and other industry leaders were banned from limiting the light bulb’s life span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although many patents have been awarded since, no super-long-lasting incandescent bulbs have succeeded commercially, the film argues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donated to Livermore’s fire department in 1901, the Centennial Light was made by the defunct Shelby Electric Company in Shelby, Ohio, in the late 1800s. Documents suggest its inventor, Adolphe Chaillet, hoped to create a more efficient, long-lasting bulb. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_17287091\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://dotsub.com/view/aed3b8b2-1889-4df5-ae63-ad85f5572f27\">\u003cstrong>Watch the full film here\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>: \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://dotsub.com/media/aed3b8b2-1889-4df5-ae63-ad85f5572f27/e/m\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"420\" height=\"347\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cbr>\nUK Indymedia also has a \u003ca href=\"http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/01/472320.html\">radio version\u003c/a> of the film up.\n\u003cp>The best part about all this: At the \u003ca href=\"http://www.centennialbulb.org/\">Centennial Bulb’s Home page\u003c/a>, you can watch the light do its thing 24-7 on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.centennialbulb.org/cam.htm\">\u003cstrong>BulbCam\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>, and — OH MY GOD IT JUST WENT OUT!!! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hah hah just kidding. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bulb will enjoy its 110th birthday party on June 18.

So check this out from the Chron: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>At Livermore Fire Station No. 6 is a lightbulb that has not burned out in 110 years. Nobody, even in this golden age of technology, knows why. And no one wants to unscrew the bulb to find out…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lightbulb is about 3 inches long and slightly rounder than a modern lightbulb. Inside the hand-blown glass is a jumble of carbon filament that radiates about 4 watts of soft orange light – about the strength of a nightlight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its workings may be a mystery, but it’s probably the most well-documented lightbulb in history. It was first installed in a Livermore firehouse on L Street in 1901, replacing the kerosene lanterns that helped firefighters load hoses and shovels for night calls. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/02/05/BA5M1HIJB1.DTL\">Full article\u003c/a>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003cbr>\nThat’s insane!

Thomas Edison’s first commercial bulb in 1881 lasted for 1,500 hours; soon, bulb-makers were proudly advertising 2,500-hour ulbs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 1924, the main bulb manufacturers in America and Europe secretly formed a cartel to limit the average life of lamps to 1,000 hours, according to internal documents, Dannoritzer said. By the 1940s, 1,000-hour bulbs became the standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, the cartel was exposed, and in 1953, General Electric and other industry leaders were banned from limiting the light bulb’s life span.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although many patents have been awarded since, no super-long-lasting incandescent bulbs have succeeded commercially, the film argues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donated to Livermore’s fire department in 1901, the Centennial Light was made by the defunct Shelby Electric Company in Shelby, Ohio, in the late 1800s. Documents suggest its inventor, Adolphe Chaillet, hoped to create a more efficient, long-lasting bulb. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_17287091\">Full article\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://dotsub.com/view/aed3b8b2-1889-4df5-ae63-ad85f5572f27\">\u003cstrong>Watch the full film here\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>: \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http://dotsub.com/media/aed3b8b2-1889-4df5-ae63-ad85f5572f27/e/m\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"420\" height=\"347\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cbr>\nUK Indymedia also has a \u003ca href=\"http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2011/01/472320.html\">radio version\u003c/a> of the film up.\n\u003cp>The best part about all this: At the \u003ca href=\"http://www.centennialbulb.org/\">Centennial Bulb’s Home page\u003c/a>, you can watch the light do its thing 24-7 on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.centennialbulb.org/cam.htm\">\u003cstrong>BulbCam\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>, and — OH MY GOD IT JUST WENT OUT!!! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hah hah just kidding. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bulb will enjoy its 110th birthday party on June 18.
