I uploaded the initial www.kumeyaay.info site and went to work on it....

ONE YEAR LATER, I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has visited KUMEYAAY.INFO, everyone who has contributed KUMEYAAY.INFO content....

In the usual crazy way I commit to projects, I found myself working on KUMEYAAY.INFO most of my free time over the past 18 months (with distracting concerns like eating, earning a living and keeping a roof over my head).

So much so — in fact — I cannot afford to work on the site anymore, and have posted notice requesting financial SPONSOR support in order to start up a functioning organization.

For all practical purposes, work on KUMEYAAY.INFO has ceased January 1, 2006.

OKAY with the drama, I have continued work...

Having taken the past year away from my work on www.kumeyaay.info to earn a living — ironically (or not) — the Kumeyaay Indians web site has taken off as evident in the published KUMEYAAY.INFO site statistics: Daily Unique Visitors, Pages Viewed, and Google/Yahoo key word search engine rankings.

KUMEYAAY.INFO has turned four and received some 38 million hits to date. Lately I have been posting new content mostly on the CALIFORNIA INDIAN EDUCATION NETWORK to breath some life-giving content into those sites as our California Indian network progresses.

57,000,000 MILLION HITS to date — I put over 4,000 hours of my free personal time into building the KUMEYAAY.INFO Web site at my sole expense — I don't know what else I can do at this point.
