On returning home

I'm in Portland for a few days. It's my first trip here in five months. Everything feels comfortingly the same, and I grew a little teary-eyed at all of the hipsters at PDX at 11pm on a Wednesday. Pittsburgh doesn't really have hipsters. How I've missed those striped shirts and I-could-be-in-a-band-but-that-would-be-selling-out looks.

That's hilarious...when I left Pittsburgh for Portland the day you were flying the opposite way, I was silly-nostalgic about all the gritty folks wearing jerseys and the businessmen in black suits who all chose some sort of gold-yellow tie.

I flew into Portland, and upon landing, no more than one or two hipsters even caught my attention on the way to the economy parking lot...and those were the ones that didn't look like the others.

Rife with derivative pop culture blather, this site occasionally features thoughts on social psychology, usability, aesthetics, and the general meanderings of someone figuring out the meaning of life. Won't you help me find it?
