Here's what's new on the Cybersalt Site each day.
Sunday greetings everyone!
Grandma Cybersalt and I are at church camp this weekend and having a good time. The weather has been really nice, which is great because I totally forgot to bring a jacket or coat of any kind. So I've doubled up on the sweaters that I have, and it's all working out.
Enjoy the rest of today's Digest.

Oh look, Chicken Thursday!
I've been promising in the last couple of editions that I would share a picture of birds in the new frying pan bird bath here at Cybersalt World Headquarters. In less than twenty-four hours of having the bird bath out, the birds have begun using it, and it is tickling me pink. So I'm happy to share this picture with you.

Sunday greetings everyone and happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating in Canada!
I'm happy to update you on the frying pan bird bath. After siliconing some rubber grips made from old bike tires to the bottom of the frying pan, filling it with water, and putting it out on Friday, less than twenty-four hours later a Robin was seen using it. I still haven't caught a picture of any birds there, so that's still to come, but I was pretty tickled that it worked so quickly.
Today's video share is a five minute time lapse built from one photo taken at noon, every day, from the same fixed camera. I'm impressed that this guy took a picture at noon every day for twenty years.

Around here at Cybersalt World Headquarters, we've been having incredible fall weather. I'm sure it's partly because of El Niño, but we've had clear skies and the sun has been very warm. I had a nice time sitting on my deck drinking some tea after a heavy duty meeting with someone, and then just enjoyed getting some work done sitting in the sun. Although because it is still October, as soon as the sun set it got cold fast.
Today's video share is a robot company retiring one version of their robot as a new model comes out. Not only do I think this is a really cool video and a cool way to do that, I also think it's a great way to help us reflect on our views of robots and maybe even AI — because I did feel some emotions as I watched it. I know these are just batteries and metal and circuits, and yet seeing something with so much human form and so much "human" in quotes still tugged at my heart. A surprise appearance by someone who is very associated with robots in the movies adds a fun little twist as well.

Sunday greetings everyone!
Grandma Cybersalt and I have been slowly adding things to our garden — plants, knickknacks, and decorations — ever since we converted our front lawn into a turnaround area for cars with a garden around it. For three or four months now I've been looking for something that would work as a bird bath that could sit on top of that decorative concrete pillar we have.
This week I finally found something that spoke to me. A big huge orange frying pan that I got for four dollars at the thrift store. Those of you who know me know that my favorite color is orange. When I saw it, I thought it would just be so funny to see birds hopping in and out of a frying pan.
I need to attach some rubber underneath it so that it doesn't spin or move around when avian visitors land or take off. When I get a picture of a bird in it, I'll share it here. And if you think that's a really strange choice, I want to thank you. That's part of the reason why I did it.
Today's video share is an interesting reminder that nothing is forever. Even five hundred year old arches have a season.
