  1. LOL! "like some vegetarians, on rare occasions will steal it’s neighbors babies and enjoy a moment as a carnivore" http://is.gd/25WR
  2. Added the TwitterRSS plugin to the site. Yay! Now, back to building up the buffer.
  3. Trying to figure out how to display my Twitter status on http://www.insectpod.com/
  4. Spending the day slotting and writing. Biz travel all next week, gotta get ahead. Goal: Slot pix for all of Sept, write through 9/15.
  5. Just watched a 1mm Steatoda triangulosa spider take on a 12mm cricket. Shot 20 minutes of video of the battle!
  6. Out late with old friends I hadn't seen in forever. Wrote 2, but slotted 0. Received 10 submissions, processed about 5 of them.
  7. @andrew_was_here LOL! I once came home to a screedling smoke alarm and the apartment filled with the stench of halogen-fried hornet.
  8. Rained today. Tonight the gnats and skeeters are out in the bajillions. The gnats are coming in right through the screens.
  9. Wrote 2, Slotted 1! Woo! Buffer status: 4 written, 22 slotted.
  10. Wrote 1, Slotted 3, Processed 1. Buffer Status: 1 written, 22 slotted.
  11. It's official happened! One of my readers just sent me an insect picture that FREAKED ME OUT. So of course it's going on the site.
  12. Buffer Status: 1 written (eep), 22 slotted (yay!)
  13. Realized that some things are best done in spurts. Stopped trying to write 2, slot 1 and just slotted... um... 15.
  14. Curses, foiled again! My camera is good, but the spider is just beyond its power: http://tinyurl.com/5su3cc
  15. Squee! There's a little jumping spider on the windowsill. And I mean tiny--body length MAYBE 1mm.
  16. Okay, I actually USE the reply feature in Twitter for InsectPOD. Following everybody who follows me here so we can all tweet bug stuff.
  17. ...which is the entire reason I decided to forgo an experiment testing the strength of an earwig's pincers this morning.
  18. Not counting mosquitoes, I have been stung, bitten or sprayed by bugs a grand total of zero times since starting InsectPOD. Knock on wood.
  19. Buffer status: 3w, 9s. Didn't write or slot tonight; focused on working through the email backlog. Processed about 30 of the ~100 emails.
  20. I don't think window screens work like they're supposed to. When we open the windows, salticids and platycrypti come in (spiders, 5-8mm).
