Spider's Lunch

i decided i's stop boring you all with car pictures, and show you what i had been shooting lately. i wanted to test out the clarity and close-up capability of the camera. but then i also decided that the picture would likely bother the more squeamish of the audience, so i played with the picture a bunch to take the realness away. but i forewarn you, i went autocrossing on saturday and therefore i will be posting more pictures of cars. don't worry, there's lots more spiders in reserve. and i'll update on the racing with the pictures.

and some news, as i have been lacking in days past. and this concerns me, and it should you.
