I'm no spider expert, but the internet tells me that this is a "Daring Jumping Spider." The internet also tells me that they don't make webs, but use their spinnerets to make a little bungee cord for when they jump off of things. Even more interesting, I read that they can be taught to remember different colors, and are "curious" because they're known to look right at you if you pay attention to them.

Far less interesting, here's a sad broken bird egg.
