World’s Smallest Thing of the Day: Tis the season to be silly at the National Physical Laboratory, where scientists have constructed the world’s smallest snowman by shooting a focused ion beam at nano-scale tin beads used in the correction of electron microscope astigmatism.
The final product measures a ridiculous 10 µm across — 1/5th the width of a human hair.
Check out the making of here.

“We can’t make the type black or white because Apple owns both of those colors.”
And don’t even try mixing the two to form some shade of gray, because they’re all over that, too.
They also have a patent on oxygen. And water.
AND THE WORLD.

First, before I say anything else: Avery is a genius at many things. As you can see here, flyer-making is one of them.
And now: Hey look, my band is playing soon! We’ll be at Barefoot Coffee Roasters in Santa Clara on December 20th, which is a Sunday. Come! See! Hear!
(And don’t act like you have anything better planned on a Sunday night, you LIAR.)
I will also add that this will be our last local show before we head out on our quest for world domination Pacific Northwest tour, which starts in Cottage Grove, OR on December 26th. (We’re also playing with Jason Webley in Seattle ohmygodohmygod I love him so much!)
Eat more potato chips because Science says it’s okay!

Buy This: “Lightblade Umbrella” from I Want One Of Those.
No Jedi Mind Tricks necessary: This is the umbrella you’re looking for. “3 LED’s make the shaft glow,” says the description. “Tee-hee,” says my 8-year-old sense of humor.
Also: Han shot first.

Or it’s the umbrella from Blade Runner

Do people only think of Star Wars because they don’t know any other sci-fi movies? That is totally the Blade Runner umbrella. Come on people. I’d bet the guy doesn’t even understand the significance of Han shot first. Urrr… I saw it on a t-shirt somewhere.
At least ThinkGeek knows what’s up:
“Even if you don’t live in a quasi-futuristic Los Angeles, and aren’t a Blade Runner, you can still have the coolest umbrella on the street.”](http://21.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ku3hldGTuh1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg)

And just to further my point about Discovery News headlines, here are today’s top stories. My favorite has to be, “Man looks for aliens, loses job”.
