The CK Daily – Backyard BBQ, Hidden Treasure & Pokémon Prep!
Happy Monday!
This weekend was fairly low-key, with a small backyard BBQ to celebrate my mother’s birthday. Family came over, and my mom really enjoyed spending time with her grand kids. We kept things casual—grilling, catching up, and simply enjoying each other’s company.
Later on, we ended up watching “Gold & Greed: The Hunt for Fenn’s Treasure,” and it turned out to be a fascinating look into modern-day treasure hunting. It’s amazing how far people will go in pursuit of hidden riches, and the show did a great job illustrating the drama and dedication behind each search.
I also managed to fit in some post-rotation Pokémon TCG testing as I prepare for the Atlanta Regionals on April 11. Adapting to the new format always keeps things interesting, and I’m looking forward to seeing which decks come out on top once the competition heats up!
I hope you have a great and wonderful week!

Learning Center Article – Does Copper Cabling Still Have a Place in Data Centers?
More than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are produced every day. That’s a mind-boggling number. Equally impressive is that roughly 90 percent of all data in the world was produced in the last two years. In the face of such overwhelming numbers, it often feels like the entire future of networking rests on the shoulders of fiber optics. Ethernet still has a strong place in networking, and that holds true even for the most advanced data centers in the world. Let’s take a look at exactly why Ethernet is still important and how we can expect it to function in the near future.
