You gain more information Using Social Media

I feel that you gain more information using social media because you would get more information using social media rather than using a TV to obtain information for example. My topic the NHL is really easy to use social media to gain information because the Sports world is so big and there is always something new happening. In the nhl it is good because if there is ever big news or say an injury to a key player, with social networking people from ESPN for example will post it on twitter or face book and you will know about it instantaneously if you follow them rather than waiting for that news to not be there as quick if you were to get the information through a Television. That is why I think that social networking plays a big role with my Topic, the NHL.

Bruins beat the Blackhawks 3-0, Bruins send a message.

I feel that the win last night was a big test because Chicago was in a desprite stage. The Bruins blanked them 3-0. I feel that this was a good message because the bruins have won the last 4 out of 5 in regulation. This was a good win, I think the bruins are ready for the playoffs. The bruins have today off from practice and will play Toronto on thursday. I think the Bruins are in a good spot right now and Thomas is in a good spot and he in my opinion is the number one goaltender. The only reason i see Rask in net for the remainder of the season would be to rest Thomas for the playoffs. If you are a bruins fan, you should be excited for the playoffs.

Bruins beat the flyers 2-1 Clinch a playoff spot!

The Bruins beat the flyers last night 2-1 and have clinched a playoff spot. I have a feeling the way the last Seven or so games go, that the bruins are going to play either the New York Rangers or the Montreal Canadiens. I honestly do not want to see the Bruins play the Canadiens because yes the Bruins do play well on the road, and they are playing at the Bell Center where more often than not the croud is going to influence the referees. We will see how it goes, Congrats Bruins on the playoff spot!!

Bruins Destroy and Embarrass the Canadiens, 7-0

Last night, the Bruins not only embarrassed the Canadiens, but quite possibly sent them a message that they are a team to reckon with in a possible playoff matchup. Nathan Horton got two goals and Gregory Campbell got 2 goals as well Kaberle got his first goal as a Bruin, Boychuck scored a goal and McQuaid scored a goal. The bruins broke out ahead in the first period by scoring three goals. Didn't score any goals in the second and held the lead. In the third period, it was an embarrassment when they scored four goals. It almost seemed like montreal quit because they just kept going around them and Montreal was standing still.  Timmy Thomas didn't do bad either with 21 saves, he stood on his head. Carry Price let in five goals and Alex Auld let in two goals. I really hope that this is going to be a playoff matchup because if things play out the way they did last night in the playoffs, then they will have big success. Overall, i thought the bruins played one of there best games of the season just because the way they handled all of the hype of that game. Great job Bruins!

Earthquake in Japan

On Friday March 11th, one of the worst earthquakes on record occured and destroyed a country. The earthquake, a magnitude of 8.9 rocked the east coast of Honshu, Japan. By magnitude, this earthquake that occured is in the top five for Earthquakes by magnitude and it is fourth. The only three in front of japan's were the 2004 indonesian earthquake in 2004, the 1964 Prince William Sound Alaskan earthquake, and the chilian Earthquake in 1960. I feel really bad for these people because along with an earthquake they have to deal with, they have to deal with three nuclear reactors. There were two hydrogen explosions in three days and are afraid that one reactor has lost its ability to cool. They haven't hit rock bottom yet, but they need to act now in order to avoid something that could be worse. I honestly think that this is a really bad thing that happened to a country that wasn't ready for it. I pray for them and wish them the best.

The New IPad 2

The new IPad that is coming out is revolutionary compared to the one that has been out. But personally, from what i've read on it, I think that this tool will be great to utilize in our school for next year. The reason why it is better than the first IPad is because they have come out with new features on it. Like for example, they have decided to make a bran new sleaker design, meaning it is going to be 33% thinner. The IPad 2 is going to be sporting two webcams instead of just one on the first IPad. The one good change that apple has added is the fact that there is going to be a faster proccessor, (an A5). There are going to be two carriers for this product, At&t and Verizon. It will also actually have an HDMI output so that you can do things in HD, the cable does cost $39 to put in HDMI. It will have the same 10 hour battery life as the first IPad and will be able to last a month on standby. They will also be coming out with new cases in different colors for the IPad 2. The new IPad will be at a price range from $499 to $829. The IPad 2 will ship march 11th, and on March 25th, the IPad will ship in 26 countries around the world. Overall I think this is a good step up from what they have had and it will change the way people do things.
