Hockey Season

Hockey season is starting up and I've decided that this is the year I start following it. My friends are from the Pittsburgh area I have watched a few Penguins games while at their house. So how do I go about choosing a team? 

In Florida there are two NHL teams:

The Florida Panthers


and the Tampa Bay Lightning


The Lightning are a really good team and Tampa is a bit easier to get to if I were going to go to see a game. However, it feels like jumping on the bandwagon to choose a team just because they've been winning. 

I also really like the Panthers logo and jerseys....

This is a conundrum much like choosing a Premier League team to follow. I was going to support Tottenham, but with Pulisic playing for Chelsea that kind of changed my mind.

    Some of my friends get together for trivia every Friday and this week there were some questions on Hockey in the sports category. And I can say that I had no idea what they were talking about! So, thank you for adding a bit of information in that regard even if it is the names of two teams!!! Sidebar: Are they still playing during this Pandemic??

      They are. Apparently they are all quarantined in Canada and will proceed with strict regulations.

    I was born in Tampa and tend to support Tampa teams although they are not 'my Teams'. We actually live like 10-15 minutes from where the Panthers play and my daughter has had a bunch of skating competitions at the rink the Panthers practice at. Panthers games are fun (even more fun when they play the Lightning :)

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/

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...
