The CK Daily – Friday Night 5K
Hey everyone!
This week was a nice mix of productivity and fun! I had a long study day on Saturday and an average relaxed Sunday, but my Friday night made up for it. After work, I headed out to do a 5K run! My boyfriend ran, and I ran/walked alongside his mom!
The race supported a local nonprofit that I love, ‘Love Your Story’. One of our family friend’s daughters runs it, and their mission has always stood out to me. They help families impacted by disabilities by providing free housing for those traveling to the area for their child’s medical care. They also host community meetups that give caregivers and family members a space to feel seen and supported. What they do is so incredibly impactful, and I’m so glad I got to be part of it!
It felt really special to be active with my own family while supporting another family’s amazing cause. The event was super fun with food trucks, a DJ, and even a bouncy house for kids. There was such great energy from everyone there, it was a night to remember!

Learning Center Article – Power Injectors Vs Power Supplies for IP Phones
In many business settings, you still need landline phones, but that doesn’t mean you have to use traditional phone lines to fill that role. Many businesses use IP phones, as they are often more affordable and more capable. When you do deploy IP phones, you might find that you want a phone in a place that isn’t easily powered. In such a case, you could consider using a PoE injector. That brings us to an important question. How do PoE injectors compare to power supplies? Is one option better than the other?
