The Micro.blog challenge word for day 19 is “possible”. With everyone raving about Apple’s new M1 Macs, I can feel my resistance to buying one breaking down… it’s possible I’ll end up getting one after all… for my work, yeah. 💻 #mbnov

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 18 is “dependence”. Since I have dependence on Apple’s App Stores for most of my income, directly for Dejal apps and indirectly for consulting work, the announcement today of reducing their cut from 30% to 15% is very welcome. 📷 #mbnov

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 16 is “memory”. Who remembers cassette tapes? An ancient form of memory storage. This is my very first one from my childhood, with some badly-spelled theme songs recorded off TV in the early 1980s. 📷 #mbnov

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 14 is “spooky”. A video that some might find spooky: a spider lowered itself onto a large leaf on the floor of the feral cat feeder, and hoisted it up to the ceiling... but ultimately dropped it. 📹🍁🕷 #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
