OWC Joins iFixIt #FixAtHome Campaign

Time to fix those isolation blues—we’re getting creative! iFixit asked us to join their #FixAtHome challenge, and we’re all-in for some at-home repairs and upgrades. COVID-19 forces many people to Work From Home, and this state of self-isolation is not only unusual but also hard to bear for some. We’d like to inspire people to make good use of the current situation by fixing and updating the things they own—because the more people are at home, the more things are likely to break.

David Barrett on NCAA Championship Anthem “One Shining Moment”

Today is April 6, 2020 – the day that the NCAA Championship was scheduled to be played.

Today is also the birthday of one of my favorite people in the world, someone I am honored to call a friend — singer-songwriter, recording artist, composer, teacher, and author, David Barrett. Now, you may not know David, but if you follow collegiate sports in any way, you are likely familiar with something he wrote — a little ditty called “One Shining Moment.” It’s the anthem of NCAA Basketball and the soundtrack to a highlight reel that every college basketball player dreams of appearing in.

Perhaps you have been asked to work from home, or you are wise to self-quarantine for a while. If so, let's talk about what that may look like and what you will need—and need to know—to be successful.
