How do amish both avoid and participate in popular culture ?

The same way you resist Amish culture. There are aspects of it that seem like a great idea (imagine if all of your neighbors pitched in to help you fix your house!? :-D ), but in the end it's just not what you know. You would have to "leave" all of your family and friends. If you weren't "shunned", you would definitely have little in common anymore.

If you're talking about just dabbling in popular culture, they do. They cannot own cars or power tools, but they can accept a ride or borrow and use a power tool (if you hire Amish to do work on your home for example). Just like you can go to an Amish stand and buy their breads, jams and organic produce or get an Amish quilt.
