The Cybersalt Digest

Cybersalt News

Sunday greetings everyone.

The news is that I am babysitting right now; babysitting one of my servers! I have three servers that I host client websites on, but right now one of them is having "a moment." The server company is looking into the issue and I am watching for when all things are up and running again. And then, as in babysitting, I get to email my clients and explain everything that happened while there were gone!

Today's video share features something I have been called in the past: a yoyo. Well, if I am a yoyo like the yoyo in this video, I will gladly accept that!

Young woman with curly hair looking up and to her left with a bright orange background. Told my kids I couldn't find the hot cocoa powder to which my four year old said, "Maybe someone took it and hid it behind my bed" which is a suspiciously specific theory.

A Grate Tragedy 🧀

A cheese grater with grated parmesan and a wedge of cheese. I cut myself shredding cheese. I wanted to blame someone else, but then I remembered ... with grate power comes grate responsibility.

Quote #2391

A young Guatemalan boy wearing a blue shirt with a World Vision sticker, short hair, clean face, looking directly at us. There are children in the world holding onto the hope that someone will stand up and speak for them.

Advertising in the 2000s

A man sitting on a park bench, one ankle on his knee, holding a newspaper with both hands. Ernest Shackleton's recruiting advertisement for his 1912 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition:

"Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honor and recognition in case of success."

If Shackleton were advertising in the 2000's:

"Members wanted for adventure trek. Low cost, cool sights, lots fun nights, thrills galore, insurance available. Get your picture in Outdoor magazine."

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

To Be or Not to Be, That’s My Confusion

A beige stuffy hippopotamus dressed as a doctor with a stethoscope sitting on a child-sized chair. After many years of denial, I finally realized how easily I am confused. Why it took me so long to realize this, I will never know.

If only I could go back to my wonderful teenage years when I knew everything and nobody could tell me what to do. Why do those days go by so quickly?
