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 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

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 8 is "bind". One of our trees got very leany during the wildfire storm a while ago, so it is staked upright again; I just added a second stake and velcro tape to bind it more, as one stake wasn’t cutting it. 📷🌳 #mbnov

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 6 is "puzzling". I find it puzzling why the outside cam of the cat house intermittently fails. It just stops working occasionally until I reboot it (or it auto-reboots overnight). 📷🐈 #mbnov

The Micro.blog challenge word for day 5 is "stoop". I have to stoop when going into my old chicken coop, as the door is a bit less than 5 feet high; I’ve banged my head more than once. So when I built the new coop, I made a full-height door. 📷🔨🐓 #mbnov
