These guys are really cool, if you stay around long enough....they bounce on their webs like a trampoline. I get a few cousins to that species every year right outside my front door.
I was walking my dog a couple of weeks ago and we left the path and went through the woods. I ran face-first into one of these. I'll admit, there was a few seconds of freak-out.
Right into one??? Oi, I may like to watch them up close, but an unexpected spider to the face and I'd have a more than a few seconds of freak-out! Hahaha
I think we have its cozen in Africa called the "Golden Orb". What happens here is, you would ride on the back of a pickup and the spider tends to sin her web just the right hit in between to small trees across a dust road and WHAM in your face. Get your freek on...
I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
What do you do when someone you've had circled for years decides they no longer want comments on their posts and, therefore, turns them off for each new post? Keep in mind, this is supposed to be "social" media.
