Leaving aside the question of whether the event is newsworthy, Bostonist will be live-blogging the world's latest entertainment incarnation: an awarference (awards + press conference?). We're not sure the word will catch on, but we are interested in seeing how interesting (or soul-crushingly boring) the event will be. And we'd also like to discover if NBC will succeed in putting on a successful prom despite the lack of enthusiasm on the part of those nerdy, dateless writers (who are just like us!). Stay tuned to discover the details with us in real time, and check the noms if you're following along at home.

Bostonist had been holding out with the hopes that tickets to tonight's game would magically fall out of the sky, but we're finally accepting the fact that that's not going to happen. What to do? Live Blog, of course! We here at Bostonist HQ are going to be online and posting about the game in real time tonight, beginning around 8 p.m. We'll be offering up our running commentary and we encourage you to join...

Where to begin? When it comes to baseball, most of the news that came out of Tuesday was dreary, almost as dreary as the skies over Boston this morning. It felt as if it took ages for Barry Bonds to take the final steps in his journey to become baseball's new home run king, but on Tuesday night, the San Francisco Giants slugger did it. Shortly before midnight Eastern time, at a time when many...

All in all, it's been a pretty good week for former Massachusetts governor and presidential aspirant Mitt Romney. Aside from a minor seatbelt flap, Romney saw a considerable improvement in his chances at election. The Des Moines Register announced that Romney was backed by 30 percent of Iowa Republicans, which puts him ahead of McCain and Giuliani. What is making Romney so appealing to those who haven't had the dubious pleasure of being governed by...

All of a sudden we've got winter. The bonus prize is that it came late enough that when we leave work at 5 o'clock there's still natural light – soon enough it will still be light when we reemerge from the commute home underground on the T. Until the next few weeks pass and we can taste the summer concert and festival season in the spring air we'll continue to keep jamming through the...

Tuesday 5/30

It's been a while since we've found a good Google map mash-up that we like. But in our unwavering passion for cartography and the recent upturn in our interest in looking skyward (well, the last two days – not this morning all full of rain) we are taking a look at two extra terrestrial mapping services. One actually maps the unidentified extra terrestrials as they've been spotted from the Earth, the other maps those hunks of junk we've purposefully sent into space to orbit the earth.

Bostonist is no security expert and we don’t really know any either. We are a bit suspicious of a couple of new initiatives that we think may either jeopardize our civil rights or safety. As we reported earlier this week the legislature was considering a bill (it has since passed the House) that may open the door to some fourth amendment concerns. Today we get word that Massport will be expanding their “register traveler” program....
