Favorite Places - Halpatter Brewing Co. - Lake City, Fl


So on this last week of Blogging, I wanted to talk about some places that are my absolute favorite. The first is the local brewery here in Lake City, FL. It just celebrated its 3rd anniversary and it is just what this small town has needed. 

Lake City is located at the crossing of I-75 and I-10 and is called the Florida Gateway. It has a community college, a mall, a super Walmart, a handful of restaurants and that's about it. Now it has a brewery and not only do they brew beer they brew really GOOD beer. I'm proud of them as a Lake City native and I can't recommend them more! In fact, I know that some of their beers are available in Tallahassee so when you are getting your growler filled look for Halpatter on tap and check them out!

Here is there website:


Here is an article that does a better job of talking about their origins than I could:

Favorite Places - Lucky Goat Coffee - Tallahassee, FL

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/

The Culture of Connectivity - Jose Van Dijck - Chapter 4

Chapter 5 focuses on Twitter. Originally the creators of Twitter were striving to create a utility. A piece of information infrastructure that was an everyday and unnoticeable part of our lives, like electricity or phones. Van Dijck says that this created a paradox in that is "presumes Twitter to be a neutral platform upon which users freely interact, much like the Web itself...indifferent to the contents they exchange" but that "the streams of data are engineered to promote certain uses and users over time" (p.69). Van Dijck says this paradox of "enabling connectedness while engineering connectivity" and "propagating neutrality while securing profitability" show up in every aspect of the platform. This is kind of a trend in all social media platforms as the start out about the user, but need to pay the bills... The Twitter platform has has some pivotal contributions to the culture of connectivity (culture influence tech while tech influences cul...
