The rain is slightly hindering the preparations for our annual 4th of July party, but the weather for tomorrow is looking good, so that’s all that matters! Hope everyone has an enjoyable holiday weekend!

Autoblog has a preview of the 2009 Eclipse refresh. Finally gone is the big, monochrome ass that was resurrected with the 4G, which I thought was the biggest styling flaw of the current generation Eclipse. Instead, they’ve replaced it with a more visually pleasing two-toned bumper with a slight flareout that mates perfectly with the…

Anyways… Verizon stockholders weren’t too pleased when Verizon disclosed…
Barenaked wing eating

By the way… the Barenaked Ladies/Guster concert was excellent, as expected. It’s not replacing any of my top five, but it was good nonetheless. Big props to Tyler’s Rick Jeanneret-influenced version of Feliz Navidad. Yes, you did have to be there. You didn’t need to have been there to get Steven Page’s recap on the…
