Hey, it's Kim Commando today, your daily podcast to keep you up to date with all things digital and beyond.

And I'd love to have you be a part of our podcast.

You can make an appointment to speak with me.

Just head over to commando.com.

And on the top right, there's a button that says email Kim, fill that out.

And that's it.

I always like to kick things off with something fun and interesting.

We all know this excuse.

Yes, the dog ate my homework.

No one's believing that anymore because everything's digital, right?

Well, what about if my cat jumped on my keyboard?

Okay, this really happened.

A technician at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri,

he's just sitting there doing all his own work.

When his cat jumped on his keyboard and when the cat did,

it just wiped out the medical center server.

It was down for four hours.

Man.

So how did this happen?

Don't ask me, meow. Oh, yeah, on that happy note, you're about ready to get more tech smarts because every single thing is now a tech thing.

And for those of you joining us for the first time, a big welcome, a hug to you. We're just thrilled

to have you aboard. And to our loyal listeners, a huge welcome back.
