The CK Daily – Your Favorite Board Games
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is off to a great start to the week!
I had a super busy but awesome weekend! I had my nephew and my little brother over on Friday night for a sleepover. We went out to dinner, dropped by Walmart to get some delicious junk food snacks for a movie night at home (watched Sonic), and played a few games of “Clue”! My nephew is now 8 years old so he’s definitely able to understand a lot more when it comes to board games which is exciting because I used to love having family game nights as a kid. “Clue” was actually a family favorite and I hadn’t played it since I was a kid! He caught on super quick and absolutely loved it!
I’m hoping to teach him some new board games in the coming months and would love to know what are some of your favorites?!

Learning Center Article – Understanding the basics of network switches
Networking is a big topic. In fact, it’s too big for a single conversation. In order to distill such a massive concept into manageable bites, it’s best to look at one component of a network at a time. This time around, that bite is network switches. They come in many shapes and sizes, but you can navigate through the field of options pretty easily when you break switch features into three categories.
