Well, at least it's learning to be considerate. Imagine it learning to trap you instead...

I have a healthy respect for spider ingenuity. One summer, these penny sized spiders kept making huge webs in the evening on the front porch that we kept walking into when we came out of the house. But, after about a week, the spiders moved their webs up and to the right about a foot, just enough to let a human…

Have you ever taken the dialect quiz to see which cities are most like your own? It's interesting. Your accent might be a combo of a couple cities. They nailed it for everyone in my family and close friends who took it. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Didn't people used to be sort of vetted in? I can't remember, but I remember it was hard to even get comments to appear a few years ago. I'd hate it, but maybe testing a flagging system?

Because everyone in this generation thinks that if something doesn't change it isn't relevant anymore? PLEASE go back to…

I hate this new format, I don't get my Gawker or i09 daily mails like I used to, the ability to find stories is more complex and less friendly, and I just don't come here & read ANY of the sites with any regularity like I used to. Kind of sad. I looked up to y'all for a while.
