Metropolis magazine is featuring 14 small-apartment helpers. Being Metropolis Magazine, they’re probably obscenely expensive. However, Sheer’s compact kitchen-in-an-egg (above) is a beautiful piece of design. And the slim fridge by Bosch actually looks usable, although I’m not sure I understand the “sabbath” option which turns off power for 24 hours. How do the bacteria swimming around in your deviled eggs know not to reproduce on Sunday?

I'm Michael Condouris, and this is my second blog. The first one's Wacky Neighbor. I was born in 1975 in New Jersey. I live in Aberdeen, NJ, with my fiancée Carrie, in our new suburban paradise. We have two pets, a Shih Tzu named Coco and a beagledor named Zoë. I was on Jeopardy once. I lost, though, just like in the Weird Al song.
Besides Smallistry, my interests include robots, space, movies, movies about robots and/or space, and Mexican restaurants. Recently I've also become fond of the Wii and ancient history. I dislike conversations about food, sports, other people's children, and conspiracy theories. I'm ok with talking about the weather though. My hat size is 7 1/4, and I have no sense of smell.
I've pretty much stopped blogging in the last, oh, 6 months or so, because talking about tiny things got a bit stale and life had a habit of getting in the way. So for the time being, the site will live on as a Twitter feed of whatever floats through my head.

Sabbath Mode is a thing for practicing jews. Wordspy covered it pretty well:

A lot of high end appliances have a subtle shut-off Saturday option.

Interesting. But does that apply to something with a thermostat, like a fridge? It would make sense if the light remained off upon opening, but a fridge, I would think, has to be able to switch on when the temp rises above a certain point, or else it won’t be fridging. I suppose I will need to ask a theologian.
