The CK Daily – The Strength of Integrity, Service & Excellence
Happy Thursday, everyone!
I’ve been reflecting on how our core values really influence the way we work together. When we focus on integrity, service, and excellence, they help us stay centered and clear about what matters most.
It’s not just about checking things off a list. It’s about how we approach the work. We support one another, think carefully about our choices, and bring intention to everything we do.
Our values remind us that progress isn’t just about speed. It’s about moving forward with purpose. When we build on trust, humility, and care, we’re creating something meaningful together.

You can only draw so much power from a single switch and figuring that out is essential for network design. To help you with that, you can calculate your PoE budget, and that’s what this tutorial is all about.
