I love the Glove and Boots videos. Quite a few of them, and they're GREAT.

I work in IT - and am working on a Cloud solution for our company. But the term 'Cloud Computing' is so 15 seconds ago -- companies are now calling it "Software Defined Datacenter" and "Software Defined IT"... But under the covers, it is the same ambiguous, vague, difficult to define concept that Cloud computing is.

But the term "Software Defined Datacenter" sounds so edgy and forward thinking -- all the CIO salivate at the mere mention of that new buzz phrase.

"Software Defined Datacenter" is the IT equivalent of what a Hipster is -- it is vague, trendy, involves a lot of money, and nobody really knows what it is all about.

So -- may I offer an alternative to the term "Hipster." How about "Software Defined Society." With the Hipster's reliance on smartphones, and their inability to solve basic mechanical tasks like changing a lightbulb, I think the term fits quite nicely, don't you?

My wife and I went to Nashville a couple weekends ago to party and take in the live music scene. Every dude was bearded. I felt out of place being clean shaven.

It's harmless but Tattoos aren't and I expect one day soon tattoo's will be out of fashion.
I guess at some point the tattoo removal business will be a good place to invest your money.
Perhaps when the mercury in the ink is connected with the low testosterone...

Yeah, she got a beard. Under her arms. I'm not sure what a real hipster is, but around here they are slacker wannabes.

Another fad until the mainstream gets on board then the beards will go and they will find something new like shaved arm pits
