CAAF: Afternoon coffee

A couple enjoyable things:
• Tom & Lorenzo’s series on the fashion of “Mad Men”, a detailed look at the costumes of the different characters. If I were costume designer Janie Bryant I’d be over the moon about it — they are picking up everything she is laying down.
• Another bookmark: Schott’s Vocab blog, which is doling out a “lexicographical trifle” a day with an assist from the OED. Elsewhere on the word geekery front, I love this Language Log theory that pegs basketball player Manute Bol as the originator of the phrase “my bad.” Also: Team Snuck. (More here.)
