Calling Kottke a hipster gives hope to us geeks everywhere.

Jason may be a geekster, but at least he doesn't have "parallel diaristic concerns." Give me a fucking break -- and I say this as a former art history major.

Let's not forget that he grew up in the midwest, then moved to California and New York to get a quick buck like any other carpetbagger, I mean, "hipster."
