TCP/IP — This is such an everyday technology that even folks who aren’t technical have probably heard these acronyms.
I aim to explain what TCP/IP is and why it’s essential. Also, this was vetted with grandma, and she got it! She is also very sharp but didn’t have in-depth knowledge TCP/IP. (Thanks, Lynda!)
So, first of all, break them apart into TCP and IP. They are commonly joined like two brothers going into battle because they are essential rules that allow computers to talk to each other over the internet.
“Hey Dan, great to see you again!” My stomach dropped, what was their name again?? I know we had met before and, they remember my name but I can’t recall theirs. Embarrassing!
We’ve all been there. We’re introduced to someone and 5 minutes later we have forgotten their name.
Finding time was the challenge — I told myself for the umpteenth time. How am I supposed to find time to read while I work a full-time job, help take care of my 1 and 3-year-old, spend time with my wife, take care of our energetic rescue pup and try to stay in touch with my friends.
Lately, my mind is constantly returning to the thoughts and ideas in the book Non-Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. As a father and husband, building deeper connections with my children and wife is important to me, and the teachings from this book helps do that.
I had heard of a bond issued by the government where you could get 10% APR.
For a “risk free” investment that’s pretty great.
So i decided to go through the process to see how tough it was . – I timed myself and it took me 17 minutes and 3 seconds from clicking the link below to purchase confirmation.
For a bond of $10k, you’ll make at least $480 ($10k at 9.62% APR for 6 months) but likely around $800 when you can cash out a year from now.
So instead of sitting in savings at close to 0% you’ll have made $800 for about 15 minutes of work!
