Survey says...


I don’t expect this blog to ever really take-off and result in me becoming an Internet star, but I’ve always been one to hedge my bets and be prepared. So I’ve come up with this blog post that anyone can read and get a quick survey of who I am. This way they don’t have to read over several blog posts to decide if they like me or not, they can just read this and carry on.

Think of it as an FAQ. A cheat sheet. The tale of the tape. A personal survey.

Dylan Hoff

Yes, please. Oh, you mean like my gender? Male

Washington State University

Two dogs, two cats, two goats, one goldfish

Let’s just say if I lived in Scandinavia I’d have a political party I could fully get behind.

    1. You would ask that. A few songs off The River and The Rising albums come to mind, but I'm going to have to pick Queen of the Supermarket from the album Working on a Dream.

  2. Hey Dylan,
    I've come across your new blog by chance and, noticing that you were a writer and San Francisco resident, had a question for you. I’m working for a new start-up called HeyLets and we’re trying to get people excited about doing what you do, that is re-engaging with the world around them. We want our users to rediscover their city through mini-recommendations from people with similar interests and hopefully pay it forward. I was wondering, would you be interested in sharing some of your positive experiences in your community with us? We'd love to hear what you have to say and help you promote your blog.
    Drop me a line if you’re interested in more info: adam@heylets.com
    Thanks for your time and keep up the good work!
    -Adam
