The CK Daily – Tis the Season?
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!
Hope everyone is off to a great start this week! It’s hard to believe we’ve already made it to August! I love the summertime and know we have many more weeks of hot temperatures to go, but it’s a fun time of year to start dreaming of Fall and, of course, college football season being right around the corner!
I went to Hobby Lobby over the weekend for the first time in a while and they have got SO MANY Christmas decorations out already! Like, what in the Mariah Carey is going on!? It’s hard for me to even think about Christmas when the heat index is over 100! I never remember seeing holiday items in stores in July until maybe a year or two ago. Apparently this practice of putting these items out earlier and earlier in the year is known as “Christmas creep,” and it’s not a new thing. Stores have been pushing Christmas sales earlier in the year for decades, but it seems like the “creep” became a “leap” in recent years due to being exacerbated by the pandemic.
I don’t know about you, but I just can’t get into the Christmas spirit in July! It seems like others must feel the same way because those aisles were empty over the weekend. Makes me wonder if retailers are about to find that the “line” for when to put this stuff out has been crossed and it’s time to move it back a little… or, on the flip side, if we’re all just weeks away from hearing “All I Want for Christmas is You” over the loudspeakers in stores!? It’s anybody’s guess!

Learning Center Article – Benefits of Cisco 3850 Switches
Sometimes, designing a network is complicated. You’re trying to squeeze power and resources out of what you have while minimizing costs and maximizing reliability. It’s an equation with constantly changing variables, and it’s enough to keep network engineers and administrators busy for their entire careers.
Other times, things are a lot simpler. You want as much networking power as you can possibly get while still supporting your existing systems.
In other words, you need to push Ethernet and traditional wireless beyond what they normally do. The goal is straightforward, and that makes a solution easy to find. For such a project, you need Cisco 3850 switches.
