Hip...

The best the definition I heard lately was that hip was of the moment while cool lasted forever. I think the writer was talking about Miles Davis (who will always be cool to me). So, in that vein, sometimes I'm hip (the occasional movie and knowing a pop-culture trend), sometimes I'm cool (I like to think I dress well) and sometimes I am a total nerd-for my love of sci-fi and gadgets. Aren't we all some combination of the three?
