Publicity still from Robo-James' early work in Japanese television.

I’m going to be on vacation the next couple of weeks, resting my weary eyes and working with a team of the world’s finest sports physicians on a specially designed strength-and-flexibility-building regimen to recondition my overworked remote-control thumb. While I’m gone, Robo-James has been loaded with not one but two theme weeks of robo-posts, so keep checking in. And because I can’t entirely shut myself up, even when I’m not working, you can follow my Twitter feed if you’re not already, for news, comment and occasional updates on my visit to the Jersey Shore. (Not this one. The boring, quiet part, for middle-aged dads with no upper-body development.)

But wait, there’s more! Techland’s Steven James Snyder, man of diverse and esoteric visual interests, has agreed to guest-post on, well, pretty much whatever he feels like posting in my absence.

But wait, there’s more! TIME movie critic Richard Corliss, Mad Men aficionado and sometime guest here, has agreed to cover the next couple weeks of Mad Men for Tuned In.

OK, there’s no more. What the hell do you people want? Seriously, Steven and Richard do great work. Don’t get used to it. I have to come back from vacation eventually.
