Yes, I'm in Pittsburgh.  I work in Cheswick (about 10 minutes north of 
Pittsburgh on route 28), and live in North Hills (about 5 minutes north 
of Pittsburgh off I-279).  I don't venture into the South Hills or the 
South Side much, but that seems to be where much of the cultural things 
go on.  East Carson street in the South Side is where a lot of the 
smaller shops and bars are - if you like that sort of thing.  You're 
also not far from Dahntahn (learn to pronounce it that way) and Station 
Square (Hard Rock Cafe, comedy club, etc).
I don't really know of too much close by in the way of 
electronics/hobby/surplus in the area, but you'll probably find 
something in the South Side if anywhere.  I do know of an Army Surplus 
store on route 51 - not too far from the South Side - but that's about it.
