The CK Daily – Spring Cleaning and Sweet Success
Happy Monday!
Saturday was a pretty quiet day around here. My youngest wasn’t feeling too great, so I stayed home with her and got a little Spring cleaning done in between taking care of her. It’s amazing how much stuff piles up when you’re not looking!
While we were laying low, my wife and older daughter were out running a lemonade stand and bake sale with her Odyssey of the Mind teammates. They’re raising money for their trip to the World competition—and they ended up raising over $900! Pretty awesome for a day’s work (and the cookies weren’t too bad either).
Hope you’re having a good start to your week!

Learning Center Article – Shielded vs. Unshielded Ethernet Cables: Which One Is Slowing Down Your Internet?
Have you ever wondered why your network sometimes feels slower despite having a good router? The issue could be your Ethernet cable. Many people underestimate how important cables are. Two common types you’ll come across are Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) and Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP). Both look pretty similar, but choosing one over the other can significantly impact network performance. Whether you’re setting up the internet at home, running cables in an office, or dealing with areas having electrical interference, the cable choice matters.
