IT Insights Blog — Holidays

It's been a wonderful 2018 here at the IT Insights Blog, and we're grateful to everyone who has shared it with us. We hope to see you all again in 2019!

Greetings, faithful readers. How is everyone's holiday shopping going? There are still few days to hustle and bustle before the gift-giving zero hour, but you'd better get over to the mall, or put that Amazon Prime membership to work, pronto. Oh, and by the way, we got something for you! With 2019 nearly here, we've combed through the archives and identified the 10 Most Popular Posts to the IT Insight Blog of the past 12 months.

This holiday season, buy someone you love the gift that truly keeps on giving: full access to TestOut Continuing Education's entire IT training library! Does your loved one need an IT certification? How about 15 certifications?! It's an all-you-can-IT buffet! Or, if you need to do some IT learning of your own, treat yourself! There will still be plenty of money left over in your holiday gift-giving budget to purchase nice gifts for everyone else.

Today, Oct. 31, is the day before All Saints Day, Nov. 1, which is also known as All Hallows Day. So now you can see why Oct. 31 is also called All Hallows Eve, which eventually got slurred and shortened into the "Halloween" we all know and love.

If there's one animal that we associate with stubbornness, it would definitely be the, um, male donkey. (Yes, smart guy, there's another word for that.)

A mule is technically the offspring of a, er, male donkey and a female horse, so donkeys and mules are not really the same thing, but both are legendarily stubborn.
