I'm still unclear on what makes a hipster a hipster. I'd love to know more.

Thinkpad users usually go to Dunkin Donuts on free refill days! I hate to break it to you, but Dunkin Donuts serves the same crap coffee bean blends as everyone else. People who truly appreciate a good cup of coffee or espresso brew it themselves at home with quality beans that are not only cheaper, but also are fresh roasted and not prepackaged sitting on a shelf for who knows how long. Tons of "real people" wouldn't know a truly good cup of coffee from shit, and the lines in front of Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts are proof of that.. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
