“We here at Book-A-Minute have come up with a solution.
In just one minute, you can read entire books and learn everything your teachers will expect you to know.”.

Here an example, Don Quixote ultra-condensed by Scott Kvizdos:

Don Quixote: “Chivalry demands I destroy that evil thing.”

Sancho Panza: “No, master. It is something ordinary and harmless.”

Don Quixote: (falls down)

“We cannot be held responsible if you write a book report or research paper using our site and don’t get a good grade.”.

“Lulu is an on-demand publishing tool that lets you publish and sell books, ebooks, music, images, and calendars.”

From the Knowledge Base:

“Print on demand (POD) is a method of producing books or other media (such as CDs and DVDs) one at a time.
With print on demand, a printer produces hard copies of a book from a digital file.
That way, the book is only printed when someone buys it.
With Lulu, an author gives us a digital file of the book and we create a print-ready version of the file.
When a customer buys that book from Lulu, our printer prints that copy (or copies) and ships it within days.”.

It sleeps in my tears

	Build a robot, made easy. “The Baby Orangutan is a complete control solution for small robots, even smaller than the original Orangutan. “Orangutan is based on the ATmega8 microcontroller. The WinAVR package allows you to write C programs for the ATmega8.”. Price: $24.95.
“You will still need two important items to get up and running: A programmer for the AVR microcontrollers: Atmel’s AVR ISP is a low-cost programmer that connects to a computer serial port. A power source: rechargeable batteries are generally the most practical.”.

“In the spring of 2002, I spent about five weeks transient in Tokyo, living in capsule hotels.”.
“Tokyo in particular is built to support people working away from home. A number of capsule hotels around the city, near train stations, absorb men who miss the last train home or just aren’t sober enough to stumble home.”.
Justin Hall tells his experience.

	“Games are really about numbers. Numbers are given loose associations with things in the real world. Matching numbers to things like strength and stamina is easy. Mapping them to emotions is far more difficult.”.
“Draw feelings. You know, those fragile things that get hurt a lot?”. “I wish life had multiple save points like games do. It’d be easier to go back and fix major screwups. I’d just have to make sure I “save” every five minutes.”. *ph34r t3h cut3 on3s, that is leet. And this is Megatokyo, by Fred Gallagher.

“Science fiction is always, really, about the period it’s written in, though most people don’t seem to understand that.”.
“I suspect I have spent just about exactly as much time actually writing as the average person my age has spent watching television, and that, as much as anything, may be the real secret here.”.
