For the record, I think this is dumb. But I haven’t posted anything in three days, so have at it.
And it’s not one of those giant novelty teacups. More here at the (wretch) Daily Mail. Via BoingBoing.
Engadget had this funny picture of future iphones, accompanying a rumor that cheaper iPhone versions will be coming after the initial success. Meanwhile, Merlin Mann is completely sick of iPhone talk. Will the tech world survive the next week?
Yehuda has perfected the digg-bait top ten list with his blog entry, “Top Ten Smallest Integers“. I won’t spoil the whole surprise, but number 3 is “3″.
By 2040, according to a study I just pulled from my ass, 95% of the web will be tips or lists, or lists of tips. So here’s my condensed top ten list of tips.
That should cover just about it. Am I missing anything?

I never knew stumbling could be this much fun! Sumotori Dreams is another example of the previously mentioned demoscene. This little wrestling game will cost you 96k of desk space. You’ve probably written papers in Word that take up more disk space. And unlike the produkkt stuff, this won’t sit there generating textures for two minutes. Via Metafilter.

HD television, combined with the pausing habits of fans, means that tv shows can’t fill onscreen papers with garbledegook anymore. The production designer of 30 Rock has turned this potential hassle into an opportunity for added gags:
I start devouring the other framed clippings and toward the end of “Jumping Jenna!” (another overcaffeinated example of fake celebrity journalism) find this paragraph: “Greek copy can be good if it’s written well and doesn’t look like you just slammed your hands around the keys making a mess. If there are some sentences and some words, you can get away with doing things like this: nvud or this: cndfund cjidf ckjd. But really you need to be careful. Cameras nowadays can pick up everything!”
That’s from a Wired article. (thanks sjb!)
Bullitt it ain’t. But with bigger vehicles, you’d never be able to race down the curviest street on the road.
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.
