National Small Business Day, Wi******er.

To every owner, every office manager, every two-person shop with a back office full of paperwork — you keep this town running. You take the calls on Saturday. You sign the payroll on Sunday night. You answer the phone when somebody calls about a problem you've never seen before.

We see you. Happy Small Business Day.

Morning, Wi******er! Skits here.

June is here, and so is the season of "honey, we leave for the beach in 9 days and I haven't packed a thing."

This week on the blog I put together a 10-minute Wi******er homeowner's checklist for locking up the house — the WiFi password question, the camera question, the "should I put the vacation on Facebook" question (spoiler: no), and the back-of-the-router photo you should be taking TODAY.

If you've got a trip on the books in the next month, the post drops Sunday. Bookmark it now:

540.303.2410 if you've got a question I missed — happy to add it.

Next week, the small-business owners.

That's a wrap on May.

Skits here. This month we covered scams, files, backups, internet, printers, QR codes, video calls, and my whole Classroom. You showed up. You asked great questions. Some of you took courses. Some of you came by my office. That's the whole game.

**Now I need your vote. What should June be about?**

🅰️ Smartphone tips and tricks (iPhone or Android)
🅱️ Email management (inbox zero, anyone?)
🅲️ Smart home devices (Alexa, Google Home, smart plugs)
🅳️ Something else — tell me what

Drop your letter. Whatever wins, we build it.

Thanks, Wi******er. Couldn't do this without you.

Storytime, Wi******er.

**What's the funniest thing that's ever happened on a video call you were on?**

Someone's kid? Someone's cat? A pants-optional boss? The "you're on mute" classic? The filter that wouldn't turn off?

Drop it in the comments. Top three stories get featured next week. (Identifying details removed, obviously — I'm not a monster.)

Are you a QR code person?

Skits here. QR codes are everywhere now. Restaurant menus. Business cards. Parking meters. Church bulletins. Event tickets.

All you do is point your phone's camera at the square. No app. No download. Your camera just knows.

**Show this post to the paper-menu person at your next lunch.** Watch them try it for the first time. Little victories.

Quick scam warning: fake QR codes are a thing too. Scammers paste them over real ones on parking meters and restaurant tables. If the URL that pops up looks weird — don't tap it.

National Hamburger Day. 🍔

Skits here. I need to get something off my chest.

Jerry thinks smash burgers are superior. I think a proper charcoal-grilled quarter-pounder can't be beat. We've been debating this since we met at that gas station on Route 11. (Long story involving an escaped goat. Ask me about it — sharedknowledgets.com/tech-help-with-skits.)

What we DON'T argue about: getting Wi******er businesses, churches, and community groups the tech training they need. In person. On your schedule. In your space.

540.303.2410 for group training and workshops.

(But also smash burgers > quarter pounders. Fight me.)

Not sure where to start?

Come talk to me. Seriously. That's what I'm here for.

Tell me what's bugging you about your computer, your phone, your internet — whatever — and I'll help you find the best learning resource for you. Could be a course. Could be a blog post. Could be a cheatsheet. Could be just a conversation.

**My office:** sharedknowledgets.com/tech-help-with-skits

Open 24/7. Drop in anytime.

Or call Jerry: 540.303.2410.

True story.

Skits here. We had a client — let's call her Margaret — who was genuinely afraid of her email. She'd call Jerry every time she got a message she didn't recognize. "Is this safe? What about this one?"

Jerry suggested she take our Stay Safe Online course. Took her 20 minutes (she read everything twice — the right way).

Two weeks later she called again. Not to ask if an email was safe.

To tell Jerry she'd caught a phishing email that her NEIGHBOR had almost clicked on.

That's what 10 minutes does. Not just protects you — turns you into the person who protects everyone around you.

**If there's someone in your life who's "afraid of email" — send them this post. That's all it takes to start.**
