Photography time!

So I took this picture last week and I just wanted to post it.



This was taken with my Nikon Coolpix P90. It is a tiny little jumping spider. He's munching on one of the tiny little mites that have been infesting my pepper plants. These mites have gotten out of control... So I've been encouraging local predators to settle in and help me out with the little buggers. I'm gonna go to garden store and try to find a box of ladybugs.

Social Networking

So Facebook has done another layout update... As usual, there are a bunch of outraged status updates from people unhappy with the slight redesign. Admittedly I bitched a bit when they changed the way the chat app works. Ah well... If you don't like it Google+ is out now.

Well actually it's been out since June but it was by invite only. Now it's been made available to everyone. Having bought up Blogger.com, YouTube and of course the search engine that started it all... Google is poised to attempt at giving Facebook some healthy competition in the internet social media realm. Shit just got real!




So I started up an account on G+ and let's just say I won't be deleting my FB just yet. Lol! Observations: Contacts are organised in circles... Friends, Family, Acquaintances, and Following. Also you can create new circles for Work or Clubs. I could easily see people ignoring this feature and just putting all contacts in the friends circle. Also I noticed instead of a like button for posts, they have a +1 button... Hmmm... You know, it's a lot like Facebook except it doesn't have as much people.

So I'm gonna take a chance here and put myself out there. Do you have a Google+ account, or are thinking of making one? Feel free to add me. My name on G+ is "Wolf Fuchamer" Now find me, add me to a circle. If you wanna be less creepy about it, send me a message to let me know. :)

Back to Hardschool

So ya. Summer. I didn't post much this summer. Didn't post much comics either. Well I'm back posting comics again. I've posted two (fairly weak ones) and have two in the buffer for Monday and Wednesday. Hopefully I get some drawing done this weekend. Well that's the plan... Works been very busy lately so it's nice to have a long weekend.

I had meant to post some stuff about what I've been growing... I focused mostly on hot peppers this year. I have one really awesome Goats Weed Pepper tree, and a whole bunch of smaller Pepperonchini plants.

The goats weed pepper tree is pretty impressive. When I get a chance to upload them, I'll post some pics. They are an extremely hot pepper.

I didn't actively plant any catnip but my big plants from last year survived the winter and I had a bunch of new ones start on their own. Yesterday I sold the rest of last years dried catnip. Today I harvested this years crop. Worked out good, maybe I should grow more next year.
