On this day in 1928, Mickey Mouse was “born.” The story begins in 1927, when Walt Disney first sketched a floppy-eared bunny while under contract with Universal Studios and the rest is history! Happy Birthday, Mickey Mouse!

The CK Daily – Inbox Zero Update
Happy Friday, folks! I wrote last week about my goal of getting to Inbox Zero. I also asked for feedback on how you prefer to manage your inbox!
One of our readers, Craig (who also happens to be the CEO of CablesAndKits), replied and gave me his process for managing email.
His list of actions goes like this:
- DELETE
- DELEGATE
- DO
- DEFER (these go into a folder called Deferred)
Craig says he tries not to look at an email without doing one of the D’s. That is the most effective for him!
I started using some of these management processes this week, which has helped me manage my inbox more effectively! Thank you, Craig, for the tips!
Since this is my last post before Thanksgiving, I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
Chris

Learning Center Article – Fast Ethernet Switches vs Gigabit Switches
When it comes to networking, you have a lot of choices. Most devices are connected wirelessly when they can be, but there are still plenty of occasions where it makes sense to run Ethernet cables.
This could be related to security concerns, network reliability, or connection speeds.
Regardless, you have some level of freedom in how you design Ethernet networks, and a lot of it boils down to the switches you select. In general, you can choose between fast Ethernet and Gigabit switches. Which is right for you? Let’s really explore the potential answers to that question.
