My motivation for this was wanting to be able to include metadata to a post.
Specifically, I was playing around with a [Teviso RD3024 radiation sensor](http://www.teviso.com/en/products/radiation-sensor-rd3024.htm), and a salvaged Americium radiation source from a smoke detector, at varying distances from the sensor. I wanted a way to associate the collection time, and distance between the source and sensor with the actual radiation reading itself.
