The spider was about an inch wide, and furiously busy tending its web, scurrying back and forth and moving its legs rapidly.
I took a step back and watched it for a while.
I tried to get a video but it didn’t come out great, and I know spiders give people the fantods so I won’t share the video here.
Casey Newton at Platformer: Why note-taking apps don’t make us smarter.
I’m surprised to learn Casey is a note-taking apps nerd, like me.
And like me he’s a compulsive hoarder of clips and links.
And like me he wants a chatbot to be able to ask the hoard questions and get good answers.
Decluttering continues. Two observations:

What Happened to Wirecutter?. By Charlie Warzel at The Atlantic.
I rely on Wirecutter for any unusual purchase under $200. If I need something I’ve never bought one of before, and it’s priced under $200, I just buy whatever Wirecutter recommends.
The police came by to do a wellness check. They said Amazon had requested it because I hadn’t had anything delivered in nearly a month, and they were worried that we were OK.
Things that are annoying me today:
Currently reading: Somebody’s Fool by Richard Russo 📚 A pleasant surprise—I did not know Russo planned another sequel to “Nobody’s Fool.”
Finished reading: This Bird Has Flown by Susanna Hoffs 📚Excellent!
I uncovered this book while decluttering my home office. I loved it when I was a kid, and bought a copy from Powells bookstore on a trip to Portland with Julie in 2008. 📚
In the course of major decluttering, I just found a ring of keys. It doesn’t fit any of our current locks but I have to keep them rather than throw them out. When we’re dead, our heirs can keep the keys and pass them on to THEIR heirs. Because that’s how keys work.
