Teeny-tiny office supplies

by Joel on February 7, 2007

Molly found these very very small office supplies that somehow or other came with the booth at the Macworld Expo or perhaps were secreted into our space by tiny molemen who visit us from another dimension, at this point I am completely unsure.

The set includes a small stapler, a tiny tape dispenser, and a half-pinted hole punch. Not shown are the petite post-it notes and the confusingly normal-sized paper clips and rubber bands.

Bill is of the opinion that they resemble the application icons of Panic, and I tend to agree—Cabel, if you ever decide to start making office supplies instead of awesome software, it looks like you may have a little (snicker) competition.

I'm all for miniaturization, but please, let's do so with small (another snicker) doses. Surprisingly, the word nano doesn't appear to anywhere near the small case these came in.

Are those for regular paper or only for post-it notes?

Please post a photo with a paper clip or a coin or something to give us a sense of scale.

You can get this stuff all over the place in Japan.  I am partial to the transparent pink ones.


Usually this includes tiny scissors.  I actually laugh when they are confiscated in US airports…the blade arms of the scissors are only a couple of centimetres long!

How about a keyboard space bar at the top of the picture?
