So I took the plunge in work and at home and upgraded to windows 7 for two very different reasons. In work I need to test the software students might come in with, and our design application had a notoriously bad time prepping versions for Vista. So this time around i wanted to do a blanket test to see what might happen to the different high end applications we run. At home the machine was in dire need of a refresh. And this staved off the inevitable for now. I&#039;m working on a post toÂ coverÂ what happened but overall I&#039;m impressed in a way I was nto expecting to be.

All of that being said This episode has some scary fun stuff inÂ preparationÂ for Halloween. The usual assortment of costume and pumpkin articles are coupled with some awesome DIY Ideas. Enjoy the feast.
