I’ll be reviewing Windows 7 for Blast. Stay tuned.
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.
Last week’s profile of a race car driver for The Boston Globe was my first sports article (not counting news for Blast’s defunct sports section).
There was some networking here. After the story was published, Skipper Hull and I spoke again about him doing some car stories for Blast. We just started an automotive section.
I think a lot of this whole scenario reflects how much of myself I try to put into Blast. My worst habit is that I tend to get into trends and start blogs about them. I bought my first “mine” car in June — previous ones (92 T-Bird, 96 Taurus, 01 Corolla, 00 Ranger) were my parents’ previous vehicles. (I crashed the T-bird, R.I.P.) As a result, I’ve gotten really into cars lately, buying things for my 08 Corolla and doing features about the results.
Though this time we have some help. We’ll work with Hull on some how-to’s and articles about classic cars his garage restores. Separately, we’re bringing in a female car blogger and car reviewer that we’re going to call “The Diva of Driving.”
Blast recently awarded the Atari-published game N+ the best handheld game of E3.
The game’s developer, SilverBirch Studios, put out a press release thanking us and GamingExcellence, which gave N+ an award for best PSP game.
“This is obviously a great honor for us,” said Wojtek Kawczynski, Senior Vice President, SilverBirch Studios. “Winning two awards at E3 further validates the quality of N+ and is a reflection of the passion that went into the making of the game.”
