I wonder if humans who go to cold places and hipsters who go to cool places could ever meet halfway and bring ridiculously hip outdoor gear to splendid fruition.
How to Layer Clothing vs. Learning to Layer Clothing
What is it with bringing things together that brings a stupid smile to our faces? I remember having a passing thought a long time ago about this new trend of TV/film having a solid ensemble of characters slowly having their plotlines and backstories mix into other characters dark, dark past.
Offhand I can think of the short-lived TV series "The Nine," and "Lost," and the overvalued film "Crash." I once read something about the definition of creativity--probably linked from kottke or fimoculous given their awesomeness--and one person they interviewed, who was a painter, or scientist or something, said that it was the ability to bring several disparate ideas together in new ways. Although I haven't seen many episodes, "Seinfeld" is another big example of mixing ideas together for entertainment.
In longform improv comedy, spotting patterns and merging ideas and actions from previous scenes into current scenes are the most satisfying laughs. The performers are listening and creating together.
Girl Talk, Gregg Gillis's mashup outfit blasts tunes from your childhood, mixing it with jams from your boss's childhood.
An entry about this is obligated to use of the following word at least once: synthesis. I haven't stumbled onto anything profound. I'm sure this has been described by someone or much more qualified to wax sociologic on why we take such pleasure in putting two and two together.
