JoroSpider.com: A Review of the Joro Spider

Understanding the Joro Spider in an era filled with hysteria requires a step back and a long look. After all, it is part of the natural world, which is amoral and, merely by the nature of it, acting naturally. As such, we look at the spider and we realize that it is exactly that a spider. Then we look at it more carefully and realize that it's an orb spider. It is often confused with other spiders, so it's important to understand how to identify a Joro spiderhow to identify a Joro spider.

Originally from Japan, as well as the surrounding Asian region, it hitchhiked its way to a city just NE of Atlanta GA. From there, it's been working its way across the South.

Researchers continue to monitor both its range and its local impact. Prevailing questions include whether or not they injure the local ecosystem. Will they, for example, overtake already existing orb spider populations. It's already been noted that the Joro spider is uniquely capable of eating invasive brown marmorated stink bugs.

One of the important things to know about JoroSpider.com is that it pursues a balance of appreciating the spider, while giving it an objective assessment scientifically. It's well researched, and always adding new references and articles.

As an unabashed Joro spider fanboy, I'm unashamedly biased. Summer is here and no doubt people will be looking online to learn more. Take a look at JoroSpider.com and then take a look at your backyard.

If you follow me on social media, I've not hidden my appreciation of the Joro spider. It is a gorgeous creature with dapples of green and yellow, black and red. Some other colors thrown in for good measure.

It's gentle but can take out beetles. Its web shines golden in the sun. It's children fly in the wind as whisps in a zephyr.

I'd love for you to check out my website, Joro Spider Information.

My site is similar to my old one. It is, however, cleaned up considerably.

Now, it reflects more of my public speaking and unique writing projects, not just my speech writing work. 

I've introduced a mailing list too.

So if you want to keep up with what I’m doing — my latest published tale, speaking engagements, and beyond — here's the way.

I won’t spam you.

If you are looking to collaborate on a project, or you are looking for an interview, here’s a better way.

Facebook Down? What to Do: Ten Tips

Facebook is down. You cannot play silly games or pretend you are convincing anyone with your arguments. What can you do? Sure, you can work, but, come on, you were avoiding that already. Don't change now.

1. Twiddle your thumbs.
   This art lost favor as Blackberry and X-box become popular, but you can work on technique. Think about the 2012 Olympics in London. Be ready.
2. Go for a run.
   You promised you would lose weight January 1. Hop to it. See you in an hour.
3. Look in your desk for candy.
   A few gems might have been lost. Don't despair. Go get 'em.
4. Adjust your socks.
   That discomfort you felt all morning? Good chance to get that good footsie feeling.
5. Update your cell phone directory.
   You broke up with your girlfriend three years ago. Go ahead. Delete her. She's not going to call. Sorry, but move on.
6. Repeat #3.
   You never know. Maybe a stick of gum hid in the last few minutes. It could happen.
7. Check Twitter.
   Well, like, duh. Send out a few replies to celebrity posts. Maybe their assistant will reply. Try me.
8. Suck your teeth.
   Work out that corn on the cob piece from last night. Still bugs you, huh? Suck away, my friend, you've got time.
9. Call your mama.
   She loves you, bud. She tolerated your antics and shenanigans throughout your youth. You know the number.
10. Write useless posts on your blog.
    Or, read mine. Thanks for reading. Click here to see if Facebook is back up. 
11. Check out my spider pics.
    What? You think I can count? Eight legs. I counted. https://www.instagram.com/jorospider/
