The CK Daily – A Tech Free Trip!
Happy Monday!
I’m writing this CK Daily a bit early, because I’ll be returning from a camping trip on Monday at a campsite that has no cell signal with the closest town being 30 minutes drive away. By now the Olympic ceremonies will have concluded (this will be the major thing that I’ll be missing out on, I’ve seen the opening ceremony with my family for as long as I can remember), but we live in a wonderful age of technology and we’ll enjoy the recording when we get back! I hope it’s a great opening ceremony!
It’s sometimes a bit scary being cut off from the world, but I think it’s good to disconnect every once and a while. I can’t believe I grew up (at least my childhood) in a world without the internet, I don’t think any of the newer generations can fully relate (maybe if they are Amish), but I can certainly give my kids the experience while out camping. I want to show them that they don’t need screen time to enjoy life and have fun! It’s also a reminder to myself, because I’m a tech nerd and love my built out PC and video games and streaming services, Twitter, and Discord! Also I might miss air conditioning, haha, but I think I’ll survive.
If you can’t go out camping, maybe having a tech free day would be something fun to experiment with! I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!

If you’ve been in the networking game for a while, or if you work with legacy systems, you may have come across keyed RJ45 at some point. This is a type of Ethernet connector from older systems, but it still works in the modern world when you come across it.
