The CK Daily – Christmas Movies
Happy Thursday!
This month is absolutely flying by already. This Christmas season seems weird or different, maybe it is because I have been so busy and it just doesn’t “feel” like Christmas time yet. Lots to do between now and then.
One thing I always enjoy doing in December is watching all of the iconic Christmas movies. We got into a debate about which Christmas movies were the best the other day, then I came across a meme/post on social this week and I figured I would throw it out there to all of you as well.

And before you say it, yes, Die Hard is a Christmas movie…haha! IMDb has a ranking of the Top 100 Christmas movies of all time based on their research. I would say for me it would have to be 1, 6, and 7. (Die Hard is def up there for me.)
So which 3 of those Christmas movies are your favorite or do you have one that isn’t on there? Let me know.
Have a great rest of the week and maybe watch a Christmas movie this weekend!

Learning Center Article – Benefits of Cisco 3850 Switches
Sometimes, designing a network is complicated. You’re trying to squeeze power and resources out of what you have while minimizing costs and maximizing reliability. It’s an equation with constantly changing variables, and it’s enough to keep network engineers and administrators busy for their entire careers.
Other times, things are a lot simpler. You want as much networking power as you can possibly get while still supporting your existing systems.
In other words, you need to push Ethernet and traditional wireless beyond what they normally do. The goal is straightforward, and that makes a solution easy to find. For such a project, you need Cisco 3850 switches.
