I really like the quote from Helen Keller in this month’s newsletter:

“The only thing worse than being
blind is having sight but no vision.”
— Helen Keller

I remember reading the story of Helen Keller sometime in my youth.

Cathy Coloff ranked on multiple Amazon best-seller lists with the new book, YOU Are The #1 Target.
Cathy Coloff, owner of IT Radix, along with a select group of experts and IT Specialist professionals from around the world co-wrote the book, YOU Are The #1 Target, Why Your Business Is Likely To Be The Victim of Cybercrime NOW More Than Ever Before…And What You Can Do To Stop It.  The title was launched on Amazon on September 12, 2019, and is available here.

It’s a fact, February is the shortest month of the year, Leap Day notwithstanding. Time is a limited resource; and in February, many often feel a time crunch. Let’s make the most of it.

For most, your to-do list is long and time is precious. So, use this short month to really push yourself into action.

You may have noticed that we updated the look of our newsletter slightly this month. Given that we’re ushering in a new year, we felt it appropriate to simultaneously usher in an updated look.

Have you ever noticed that Apple or Amazon never do complete facelifts of their websites? Instead their sites have evolved over time, reportedly including near invisible refinements that have maintained the user experience their customers know and like.

December is often a time to reflect while at the same time look ahead. It’s been a busy year both at IT Radix and at home. So much so that it’s hard to even remember last spring.

What does tradition mean to you? For many, traditions are something to look forward to, a way to become closer to family or friends, a way to bridge generational gaps or even create a sense of identity.

Generally, everyone fears something. Halloween is one of those traditions that pokes fun at, while at the same time plays off of, people’s fears. As I’ve grown older, my childhood fears of things that go bump in the night have disappeared and been replaced by other fears that perhaps I have yet to discover.

As summer starts to wind down and we head into fall, I’m reflecting on my activities outside of work. In past newsletters, we’ve used more mainstream sports such as football or basketball to be our theme; but this summer, we chose “Get Outdoors” and activities that I, for one, really enjoy.

I was recently reminded of the days before high-speed Internet was available everywhere. This summer, on a family vacation in the Sawtooth and Bitterroot Mountain ranges of Idaho and Montana, we visited a gold mining ghost town, rafted the Salmon River, and hiked and rode ATVs in the local area.

I’ve been sailing on and off for most of my life. My family first started sailing when I was 6 or so and living in North Carolina. We had a small daysailer that we took out on a local lake.
