The CK Daily – Spring Markets
Good Monday morning!
Spring is almost here! On Saturday I had the opportunity to attend a Spring festival of sorts in the city I grew up in. It was a bit chilly in the morning but warmed up through the afternoon. The festival was a fundraising event for the high school baseball team and had a good selection of vendors.
It was a tasting festival where you purchased tickets to try different small dishes at different restaurant booths. My kids enjoyed getting their faces painted and the inflatable bounce houses and slides. I enjoyed different types of tacos and some great spicy hummus!
I love going to these outdoor town festivals, in a way this one felt different. Things seem to be getting back to what they were pre-pandemic, it makes a world of a difference seeing people’s faces, rather than talking to them behind a mask while they are wearing a mask. There’s an uncanny anonymity feeling that I’ve never quite gotten used to while wearing a mask, as if I were a nameless machine talking to another nameless machine.
The cold weather has come back with a vengeance today, reminding us Spring has not quite made its debut, so I’ll be enjoying two cups of coffee this morning (to help with the time change). I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!

Learning Center Article – Choosing the Right Network Card
When you think about networking, there’s a lot of focus on switches, panels, racks, cables, and the backbone infrastructure that makes it all work.
It’s easy to forget about devices that enable individual networking components to function. One such case is a network interface card (NIC). They allow your computerized devices to connect to the network, so they’re absolutely essential. Many devices have NICs built into them, which is why they are easy to overlook. But, there are times when you need to purchase NICs. When that happens, this guide will help you choose the right option.
