I’m installing Windows 7 right now on my desktop.
Note #1: If you downgraded to Windows XP (like I did recently), then the joke’s on you.
You can’t upgrade XP to Windows 7. You have to manually backup your files and then re-install all your old programs.
Gulp.
Working a night shift tonight on the Metro desk.
The Globe is apparently not getting sold. People seem glad that this drama is over, but it’s business as usual tonight.
Time to write some news.
And I can’t legally tell you anything about it.
In this month’s first-ever Blast Cover Podcast, I bring up an interesting journalism question.
Blast recently got an exclusive interview with the cast of “Hank,” Kelsey Grammer’s latest return to prime time.
We did a great story, and we were happy to have the access. But there was one problem: The show stinks. It’s getting bad ratings and worse reviews.
The good thing is that interviews and reviews are done by different reporters, but my question was: Is it ok to cheer for or hype a show because of our coverage? We gave the show a bad review but still pumped the interview.
Any thoughts?
