The CK Daily – Soaking up the extra hour!
Happy Monday!
Goodbye daylight saving and hello “extra” hour of sleep! It’s one of my favorite times of the year, although I will miss some of the sunlight. This weekend we didn’t really do anything exciting or notable, we put together some cube storage and repotted some basil plants, and that was about it. There’s beauty in having an uneventful weekend. Often times those are my favorite types of weekends, where I can catch up on chores, read a good book, or catch up on a couple of shows. And/or on Disney plus has been a delightful favorite of mine lately. Its tone and pace is a little different than the recent Star Wars series (i.e. The Mandalorian and Obi-Wan Kenobi); if you are a fan of Star Wars it’s definitely worth a watch. Have you watched any good TV lately? Any Sci-Fi recommendations?
Also, a friendly reminder that tomorrow’s Election Day and if you haven’t voted yet, I encourage you to do so. It’s something I’ve taken for granted in the past, but as I get older I value and see the importance of voting.
I hope you have a great week and crush all your tasks and goals!

Learning Center Article – What are the advantages of OM5 Fiber?
Information technology has headed in one obvious direction for the past several decades. More people come online every year, and the constant demand is for more speed. As these systems grow, infrastructure will continue to be put under greater strain in order to keep up with the trend.
Today’s News to Start Your Day:
- Sweetgreen is launching its take on the Rice Krispies Treat, its first dessert since 2014.
- Blood grown in a laboratory has been transfused into humans for the first time in a landmark clinical trial. Two patients in the U.K. have so far received tiny doses of the lab-grown blood as part of a wider trial to see how it behaves inside the body.
- The Powerball jackpot keeps growing. After no one matched the winning six numbers drawn for Saturday’s $1.6 billion jackpot, the grand prize rolled over to the next drawing on Monday and ballooned to a record $1.9 billion, with a cash payout option of $929.1 million.
- Apple is working to simplify how users interact with Siri. The company has reportedly spent the past few months training the digital assistant to respond to “Siri” instead of “Hey Siri.” On the surface, that’s a simple change, but one that Gurman says involves a “significant amount of AI training and underlying engineering work.” The reason for that is that a two-word trigger phrase like “Hey Siri” increases the likelihood of the software responding to a request.
