Our friends at Diamond Bullet Studios, creators of ‘Catalyst 2013’, a video game based on this year’s FRC game Ultimate AscentSM, set up a booth at last weekend’s New York City Regional. Looks like there were lots of people interested in trying it out. You can learn more about Catalyst 2013, and download a copy, here: http://www.dbsgames.net/.

I’ll blog again soon.

Since when is there a Media and Technology Award?

Since this year, when the Website Award changed both its name and its function. Instead of just a website, you’re now also judged on use of social media.

Oh, OK. I thought it was still called Digital Media Award.

It was supposed to be, but they changed it.
