I noticed a spider in the corner of the kitchen, so I zoomed in for a closer look.
After some analysis, I decided it had to go, even though it was totally harmless. I was going to chase it into my specialty spider-catcher, consisting of a bowl and an old piece of cardstock.
They never see it coming.
Yesterday was eventful: we acquired two chairs that can be pushed together into a sort of bench, and we got rid of a table that didn’t quite fit. If you’ve ever read Bruce Sterling’s Shaping Things, or if you’ve considered the entire lifecycle of the products you purchase, then like me, you may have grown to dislike disposing of things – because it’s a bit of a chore. I asked myself: what is the easiest way to get rid of this table? The obvious answer – throwing it away – is full of problems, not the least of which is that there is a city schedule for throwing away big items. Then the answer struck me: the Reverse Auction.
Okay peeps – the next time I post, I will hopefully be in Canada. So long, and thanks for all the fish.
