Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

The good news first: my arm keeps getting better, which I am especially thankful for, because the rest of the week has been a parade of small adventures. Tuesday morning was an eye appointment — pleasant enough, until they dilated my pupils so wide I could practically see into next week. Then it was off to the dentist for two fillings, one of which was courtesy of a tooth that decided to crack all on its own. Not my favourite morning.

Ups and downs as usual — but I keep seeing ways God is working through both, so I remain a happy man.

Today's video share is one that has already helped me immensely. I am one of those people who gets introduced to someone, hears their name, and then forgets it before the handshake is over. It is always a little embarrassing the next time our paths cross. This video gave me some insight into why that happens, plus a few tricks that are already making it easier for me to remember names the first time around.

Sunday greetings everyone - Happy Mother’s Day to those of you who celebrate it!

I’m excited to report that my zero inbox dream has been realized. Some of you will remember I’ve been chasing this for years — trying to get organized and disciplined enough to actually run an empty inbox. The extra motivation finally came when I agreed to speak at a conference on the dream of a zero inbox; I gave that presentation a week ago Friday. The proof of the pudding showed up yesterday: when the batteries in the UPS for my workspace gave up the ghost, instead of it being a frustrating interruption of work I was behind on, I just headed out to run a nice Saturday errand and grab the replacements. Best Saturday I’ve had in a long time.

Today’s video share is a lovely Mother’s Day story — a Kansas reporter using her airtime to honour her mom by celebrating her scientific legacy. Her mother was the first to notice a biogeographical boundary cutting across the state — now called the Tatschl Line — and the piece is a great reminder that our moms had whole interesting lives before they were our moms.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

It's been a very busy week here at Cybersalt World Headquarters. I've got a handful of projects on the go — some brand new software I'm getting ready to release, plus an opportunity that came up this week to purchase a couple of websites that'll be a nice enhancement to what I'm already doing. I'll share more once the deal is closed and everything's transferred over.

In the meantime I'm feeling really positive about all of it, and really thankful too. A couple of years ago Jesus set me free from a pattern of self-sabotage I'd carried around for far too long, and I am genuinely enjoying watching how well things are going now.

Today's video share is an excellent example of what goes up must... go round and round and round.

Sunday greetings everyone!

Grandma Cybersalt and I had a busy but full day yesterday. We spent it at our church for some theology teaching and reflection with a visiting doctor from McMaster University. In the middle of all that, we snuck out to attend the wedding of a wonderful young couple from our church — a beautiful ceremony, and a lot of fun. Then it was back to church for the rest of the afternoon's teaching, out for supper, and on to the wedding reception... which was held in a local aquarium of all places. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it worked really well.

Today's video share is another Titanic-related find. I hope you aren't tired of me sharing these — I just found this one really moving. I'm a big fan of drones, and seeing them used this way to create such a powerful moment of reflection was something else.
