You may have seen this before. It's called a note pad. The reason it was invented was to write things in it. Lieutenant Columbo used one all the time. Cavemen wrote on walls and carved in wood. Paper was invented in China in about 140 BC. Finally the notepad was invented in Australia in 1902. But get ready for the real truth. Yep, you guessed it. |

The note pad, or Hipster PDA was actually invented by San Francisco writer Merlin Mann who says he got tired of lugging around his Palm device and decided to switch to paper. After months and months of thinking and designing he came up with the idea of binding several pieces of paper together. With a bit of irony and his ability to be different than the average human he came up with the name Hipster PDA mimicking the popular digital device. |
Soon after, thousands and thousands of hipsters started doing what they do best. They were being different while being the same. They started carrying around paper and pens, something that had never been tried before. Not buying a real digital PDA was a good way not to pour money into big digital electronics companies regardless if they all carried i-Pods in their tight jeans and toted their i-Macs from coffee shop to coffee shop.
I recently stole a Hipster PDA out of the back pocket of a hipster as he bent down to pick up his parents credit card. This was his to- do list:
- make up a fictional band name so i'll be the only one who knows about them
- force myself to like soy so megan will go out with me
-
- pay rent
- memorize coffee shop menu to impress others waiting in line
- don't wash hair
- walk around aimlessly looking like an artist
- email josh back home and tell him how great brooklyn is
- get drunk and babble about some pointless obscure book i only got 1/4 of the way through
- fill PDA with more paper

I am new to the site and I feel I must have died and gone to heaven. You are writing directly from my own head. I am shocked by the identical views who are expressing. i am so glad I am not alone. I love the PDA piece, I work in Bushwick and my daily commute is maddening I avoid the L train at all costs, I am constantly confronted by the infestation, and and consistently sickened by it, THank you for expressing these important views...take the city back...
