DeeperThinking

So I’m on a work vacation with my family in Australia at the moment dealing with the usual challenging time zone issues. Tonight I have to be online at 3am for a global webcast on Open Source in Education - fun stuff. After sending the family off to bed I venture into one of the bedrooms to get 2 hours sleep and come face to face with this…

I’m not normally a fan of spiders and used to seeing these things through the appropriate bullet-proof glass so after 30min of face to eight-eyes panic frozen terror I bravely slip past the monster and bring up the Google to find out how closely I cheated death.

A quick check on the spider index and I recognize my assailant as a Wolf Spider with a painful but non-deadly bite.

Another 30min of exploring the wonderful world of spider loving communities that live on the net and I feel much better and very glad I’m not this guy
