Greetings and salutations from the land of the lost - well the land of the lost in other things that is!

Some of you have been inquiring about where on earth I am and wondering if something has happened to me.  The answer is, I am right here and I'm OK (well I have been on crutches the last 2 days but that is unrelated.) I've actually been working on a huge project with a friend the last 4 months.

The project has been modernizing a huge website - Independent Sports News. Independent Sports News aims to be the leading source of amateur and community level sports news from around the world.  It's a big site for the little guys.  The updated site is really coming together nicely to the point where I have a bit of breathing room to return to some of my own Cybersalt Stuff. It would be really encouraging to my friend and I if you'd drop by the site and check it out at www.independentsportsnews.com

It has been almost 4 weeks since I last mailed out the Cybersalt Digest and Pearlygates newsletters. I've been working on a bunch of web projects for people this month.  There is one in particular I'd really like you to take a moment to consider today.

In my community, 4-year-old girl named Hannah Day is in a pretty major battle with the 2nd cancer of her young life. Like 20,000 people around the world, Hannah needs a stem cell donor.  Could you please help in the search for a matched donor?

The first thing everyone can do is help get the word out by sharing the following link on your social media networks: www.hannahday.ca/hannah-and-the-bear

A second thing many can do is register with a stem cell and bone marrow registry in your country (www.hannahday.ca/internationalhope). Each country has its own requirements (in Canada the age bracket is 17-35), but all are linked internationally so you might end up helping save the life of someone near or far from you.  Registering involves having a kit mailed to you, a simple cheek swab, and then the return mailing of your kit.

If you are not eligible to be a donor, please encourage someone who is to sign up.

People who are waiting for news of a matched donor need our prayers, but don't pray until you find out if you are an eligible donor and, if you are, have signed up.  Remember, faith without works is dead.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

Happy New Year everybody; I pray that 2014 is a blessed one for you.

Sunday greetings everyone!

Like many of you I have been busier than the North Pole Human Resources Department after an elf riot in the lunch room.

Today I turned my attention to the Cybersalt Digest and a major upgrade I've been wanting to accomplish.  As you may have already noticed, not only does the Digest have a new look, its template is now also "responsive" - meaning easier reading on mobile devices and smart phones.  This comes just in time to meet government targets for the great "Less Squinting in 2013" healthcare reform program.
