The CK Daily – Swiftie Update, Weddings & Dancing Fruit
Happy Wednesday, everyone!
I hope you’ve had a great week. I’m happy to report that the Taylor Swift Eras Tour film was incredible! I enjoyed being able to relive my experience at the concert but in a different way. As I was watching the film, I just kept thinking about all it took to make this tour happen – and it’s not even over! From set-up to tear-down, there’s quite a bit that goes into it. I can only imagine the number of people behind the scenes for this tour or any tour for that matter.
Overall, this weekend was great! We attended our first wedding in a while and it was a blast. Last year, my husband and I were in the season of attending weddings every weekend in the fall. It’s nice to have a break from that this year, but the one from this past weekend was beautiful. It was in the mountains of North Carolina and the weather couldn’t have been better! We took our little guy with us to the wedding and he did wonderfully.
Lately, our little man has been growing like a weed! He’s 11 weeks old today and I just can not believe where the time has gone. He’s so smiley lately and boy does it make our hearts swell when he does. Recently, he’s been pretty into Hey Bear. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a video channel on YouTube that has little dancing fruits and vegetables on a black background. He could care less about most of the fruits and vegetables, but there are little radishes that come on the screen and he is obsessed. It’s quite comical.
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week ahead!

Servers are the workhorse of your network. They store your data, act as a web server, house your entire email library, run your applications, and occasionally act as your print server. Sometimes, servers need to have a little backup. This is where a controller battery comes into play. This is a brand-new backup battery for specific Dell servers.

When you’re trying to run cables to make a network function, you don’t always have the luxury of thinking about the specific metrics and design elements behind the cables you’re using. You just need to get them from one port to the next, however you can.
The problem is that not all Ethernet cables are equal, and when you run them through walls or attics or other shortcuts, you could unwittingly create a fire risk.
