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 :)

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...
