Jeremy Cherfas

The past month of micro posts served to reinforce my belief in my need for extrinsic motivation.

Jeremy Cherfas

Crossing pedestrian off my list.

Jeremy Cherfas

I absolutely refuse to be bullied by a “random” word generator into using a word like mask. is a hoax.

Jeremy Cherfas

Dilemma is one of those words that never looks correctly spelled to me. I dither between dilemma and dilemna for reasons that escape me.

Jeremy Cherfas

It seems I’ve done nothing but adjust for the past nine months.

Jeremy Cherfas

Call me the breeze?

Jeremy Cherfas

I’m a good listener. I can say things like “provision another instance,” and have no idea what I’m talking about.

Jeremy Cherfas

I confess, I’ve never really liked the idea of “nice capture” applied to a photograph, even a stunning wildlife image. It smacks of snapping the soul, and the hunting side of it doesn’t appeal either.

Jeremy Cherfas

Not sure when I will next cross a physical border to another country, but independent cyberspace remains open, for which I am thankful.

Jeremy Cherfas

Fade to black.

Not the end

Jeremy Cherfas

No, anything is not possible.

Jeremy Cherfas

I need to train myself to dig deeper before trying tricky computer stuff, but it is actually quite hard to find the tutorials that give understanding before they give instruction.

Jeremy Cherfas

My memory is that my first USB stick had 128Mb of memory and cost and arm and a leg, in 2001, I think.

Jeremy Cherfas

The Far Side used to be one of my favourite cartoons, but Gary Larsen’s return hasn’t really stuck with me.

Jeremy Cherfas

I’m just not very good at spooky movies, can’t suspend disbelief for things I find it hard to believe in.

Jeremy Cherfas

Keeping things minimal, I guess this will have to do.

Jeremy Cherfas

Wear and tear is a concept that I like to embrace. My jeans, for example, are worn and torn in a way that directly reflects how and why I wear them, not a fashionista decree.

Jeremy Cherfas

Say what?

Jeremy Cherfas

I wish I could force m.b to look further back in my RSS feed and find yesterday’s microblogvember post.

Jeremy Cherfas

I have enormous admiration for John F. Appleby, who in the 1870s perfected a machine that would tie a knot in twine, thus enabling a machine to bind sheaves of grain together and setting in motion the giant combine harvesters that enable our daily bread.

Jeremy Cherfas

There is no way I can inflate my relief at the day’s events, or my gratitude to cyber-friends here on mb for their generosity of spirit.

Jeremy Cherfas

Erk. I seem to have misplaced today’s prompt.

Jeremy Cherfas

Puzzling? This stuff writes itself, doesn't it. Not that I am going to let it, but the thought is definitely there. We've had near and anxious (ha; not anxious, astonish. Mr Freud, your slip is ready.) and stoop and now puzzling, and you still expect me to believe the choices are random?

Jeremy Cherfas

Is the architectural stoop derived from the same word as step, and what exactly is it? Is it what I might call the front porch? Or is the little flight of steps leading up to the porch?

Jeremy Cherfas

The only thing that makes life bearable right now is that I am near the person who makes my life worth living. I can’t imagine surviving so much forced proximity with anyone else at all.

Jeremy Cherfas

Whatever happens today is likely to astonish me.

Jeremy Cherfas

I do remember orange juice made from concentrate and it seemed sensible; remove the water, ship, replace the water.

Jeremy Cherfas

Not at all dreary the past few days. We had a great outing under warm, blue skies to stock up on culture. It may be a while before we can do that again.
