On the homestead blog: your weekly flock update. #FlockFriday 🦆🐓


The Micro.blog challenge word for day 13 is “guess”. When I ordered my iPhone 12 Pro Max, it said it’d be delivered today, but it has been pushed out to November 25; I can’t guess why, but hey, what’s a few more days. 📱 #mbnov


The Micro.blog challenge word for day 12 is “wear”. On cold days like today, I wear a kinda silly-looking collection of clothing while doing morning rounds, including hoodie, hat, scarf, and jacket (if raining, I have the jacket hood up instead of the hoodie’s). 📷 #mbnov

Some flowers from our old townhouse, from 2005. 🌹🌼 #ThrowbackThursday







On the Dejal blog: announcing the first beta release of Dejal Time Out 2.7, with Big Sur compatibility, an option to ask to start a break, improved preview, added themes, and much more.


The answer to today’s #WhatsItWednesday question, as only correctly identified on Micro.blog: it’s the bowtie emblem on my Chevrolet Colorado truck.


Let’s play What’s It Wednesday again. What do you think this is? #WhatsItWednesday

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 11 is “say“. On this Veterans Day, a familiar poem sprang to mind for #mbnov, with a picture taken at dawn:
O say can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming….

Congrats to the people at Apple on the release of Macs using the new Apple Silicon M1 chip. Looks like excellent improvements in several kinds of performance. I’m not in the market for a new Mac yet, but will be keen to upgrade when the iMac joins the transition.
