A Post About Music

I made a new discovery this week that I thought I might share with everryone.

I found a new band that I really enjoy and they pair particularly well with working on school work. I usually listen to Lofi Hip Hop Beats to Chill/Study To (more on that later). It was my best friend's baby's birthday at the end of May (irrelevant) and I made a gift and was finally able to visit and give it to them. During dinner I got to chatting with her husband (also a great friend) and as usual we got to discussing our current favorite cocktails, craft beer, and music discoveries. 

Well his suggestion was a band called Khruangbin (pronounced kroong-bin). I gave them a listen on my drive home and now I am completely obsessed. 


Their music is mostly instrumental, upbeat, and catchy. Its great to have on while you are working on schoolwork or housework and it helps you stay motivated and active without being distracting when you need to focus. Checking them out on Apple Music or Spotify. Their bio there is much more detailed if you are interested and here is the link to their NPR Tiny Desk Concert:


As I mentioned earlier I usually listen to  Lofi Hip Hop Beats to Chill/Study To and I absolutely love the ChilledCow station on YouTube (and they just created a playlist on Apple Music and Spotify too). So in support of the station I have listened to for years now (don't want to make them jealous for my new found love of Khruangbin), here is their shout out!

ChilledCow Radio - Check it out!

The Culture of Connectivity - Jose Van Dijck - Chapter 2

In chapter 2, van Dijck gets a little more technical. He presents definitions for various aspects of the social media construction.  Technologies included: data, metadata, algorithm, protocols, interfaces, and defaults He broke down the concepts of users and usage: " Implicit participation is the usage inscribed in the engineer's design by means of the coding mechanisms" (p.33).  " Explicit use refers to how real or actual users interact with social media" (p.33). He discuses content (text, music, or videos) and how these display the opinions of the users, the things they are interested in or want, and other social trends and consumer practices.  He describes ownership of the social media site, governance (mechanisms, communication and data traffic management), and business models and intentions of the site and how these 3 things work with the previous 3 things (content, user agency, and content) to create online sociality. Ultimately the focus of this chapter...

Favorite Places - Lucky Goat Coffee - Tallahassee, FL

This place has only been working its way into my list of favorite places. I've lived in Tallahassee for about 2 years and its my go to place when I want a good cup of coffee or to get out of the apt and study or do work. I don't know too much about it but what I can't stress enough is the need for you all to stop in and get one of their cold brew brownies!!! I guess it was last summer, but I went in for a coffee and decided I wanted something sweet, so I got a brownie. My life was changed forever, LOL, this was one of the best brownies I have ever eaten. It was fudgy, it was chocolaty, I think the cold brew was in there like chocolate chips. I went back every single day for like a week and ha half before I made myself stop.  I like the Midtown location and I would also recommend the pistachio muffin, but that brownie....  Here is the link to their website: https://luckygoatcoffee.com/

Let's Get This BREAD!!!

So one of my interest have always been in cooking. Something I've been trying to learn to do is to make a sourdough starter. For some reason, I just can't manage to make one. The results have been horrific and the things of nightmare. I'm not planning on stopping, however I have found away around it.  It's called The No Knead Method and the baker who came up with it is named Jim Lahey. So when it came time to work on my produsage assignment for this class I decided I would create a resource where I could gather and present my resources on bread making. Hopefully others will find it interesting and helpful and they will add their own resources and attempts at making bread. If you are interested feel free to join the community here: http://www.pearltrees.com/sab07f/bread-baking-with-bunn/id33065706 For now enjoy this post about my attempt! So, as I mentioned I followed the No Knead Method. I started by gathering the ingredients. I have certain selected brands on the Pearl...
