Catching up on things after a bit of a hiatus.
- The Footnotes of Mad Men (via Kottke).
- Corona saves a man’s life by being gross (via @BoingBoing).
- Kenji Lopez-Alt reverse-engineers an In-n-Out burger. He also recreated Mickey D’s fries a while back.
- Bill Murray gets interviewed.

- A former writer for The Tonight Show details how Conan got screwed.
- Moving may or may not be problematic for kids, especially introverted and neurotic ones. Via @Maryvale.
- Was the Toyota runaway vehicle panel unqualified?
- New deportation rulings are a step forward, but probably won’t help anyone already kicked out.

- For $250, ColorWare will prettify your iPhone 4, and might fix that “death grip” problem (which, in turn, might not be such a problem after all. Even if it is, it also might be (but probably not) getting fixed on the DL).
- The “Son of Sam” killer’s image gets burnished while he’s in jail. I’ve always loved the phrasing of the “Hello from the gutters of New York” Breslin letter, regardless of authenticity.
- Who do you write like? Based on this post, I write like Stephen King. My mom is apparently a H.P. Lovecraft fan.
- The FCC’s “indecency rules” are bullshit, says the Court of Appeals. Crappy-drawers whiners including the Parents Television Council and Concerned Women for America are appealing.
- Fuck what you heard, gang nicknames are awesome. I would love it if people called me “Bloody Batman.” (Via @Maryvale)
