Perl and scripting. Data. Online news, news SEO. Spider taxonomy. Gardening. It's all a blur.

@lamarshall @modposhades That's a wolf spider (family Lycosidae), not a member of the widow family (Theridiidae). Many Theridiidae are common house spiders (they make the cobwebs behind our dressers) and they do not have a toxic bite; wolf spiders are also harmless.

@TMobileHelp Thanks, Amanda. I was just about to when it finally popped up "Account added" after 9 hours and let me set up my new phone. Ty for getting back to me!

@TMobileHelp My new Galaxy S7 has been stuck on "Just a sec" for 8 hours, since I typed in my Google login. What to do?

[Nina Sandlin @nsandlin]

@JeromeMcDonnell Are you aware of this, and can you help raise awareness? https://t.co/t74kOFyC1g

A buddy sent me this one. Waving Hi to my friends at #ManholeCoverMonday

Also here is an allegedly "Lincoln Park" one. I've here in Lincoln Square since 1992 and never noticed this interloper. #ManholeCoverMonday

I couldn't focus on work last Tues & decided to take some pics of my beloved polling place, even though I'd already #voted. #ManholeCoverMonday

@premillenial *my* first tears since back when there were 20-something candidates for the Democratic primary. Hoping to #textbank for Georgia.

@ForTheSpiders @neville_park My line pig thanks you

[Nina Sandlin @nsandlin]

@wheelieboy @FarmerGran They don't jump *at* you. They are busy with their own lives.

@UPS I was home. This was the sign on my door. THE BELL NEVER RANG. They put the sticker right over this and left.

[Nina Sandlin @nsandlin]

@UPS I was here and UPS never rang the bell. I had a big sign on the door "UPS I AM HERE RING THE BELL." The sticker didn't even have "final attempt" checked (was just blank). Now my package is in some other town. I don't drive. How am I supposed to get it??

Gene Kranz is my personal hero. Incredible what he and these guys were able to do when everything was going wrong, by staying focused. #Apollo13

[NASA's Johnson Space Center @NASAJohnson]

50 years ago, lead flight director Gene Kranz and his team used this room to communicate to the #Apollo13 crew and bring the astronauts home safely. From coffee mugs to consoles, check out the project that preserved the Mission Operations Control Room: https://t.co/qv9voMDnGu

I miss the @WBEZ spring pledge drive. We didn't know how lucky we were, hearing our favorite voices chatter on & having chances to win cruises. Wheee! But did you know you can still donate? It's true: https://t.co/aiuRVAmrrb
