Screenname Fun

So, I'm sitting here at work, with my AOL Instant Messager turned on. And no one is on. No one. And I know lots of people (Like, a two didget number and everything!). But NO ONE is on. It's obvious that I must simply not know the right people, or else they'd be on. And I'm bored. Which is simply unexceptable. Therefore, I'm calling on Barbelith to solve my life's problems, as always. So, my screenname is "spyderinnabox". IM me, somebody! Oh, and others should post there names here too. Yeah. And we'll all have an instant messaging orgy! Hurray!

How odd. I was planning on starting a messenger thread yesterday.

I was even gonna call it 'Message to the Messengers' after the Gil Scott-Heron tune. Probably shouldn't have mentioned that.

I'm sleepy@paris.com on MSN Messenger.

toksik, rollerblading is da bomb. You old rightwing rollerskaters always stand in the way of progress. Get over it. The blades are the wave of the future. Those old fashion skates you're wearing are so passe', and you know it. And I know you know it, 'cause if you didn't you would never have started dissin da blades in the first place!

On topic now: I'm not on MSN Messanger, but should I be? Thoughts please.

I'm fr1dgemagnet@jabber.org.uk if anyone's interested.

What, you don't use Jabber? I bet Grant Morrison uses Jabber. Well, I bet Warren Ellis does anyway. Actually, he probably doesn't, he only likes shiny tech that has phones in it. Okay... um... Lawrence Lessig probably uses Jabber. No, he doesn't write bloody comics.

oh, okay, I have an AIM as well

blades and boards are entirely different things that often get conflated because of a similarity of style.
skaters are urban surfers, and despite giving many cues to the rollerblading comunity in terms of what to wear and how to approach the sport, are not the same as them.

skaters are riding someting, bladers are wearing something.
its a big difference, just like the difference between skis and snowboarding.

the only real common ground between the two is the terrain.

I realised with shock and horror the other day, when hoverboads do finally get released, I'm gonna be too old to use them! My childhood fantasys are in tatters.

Yeah, but you can still bash kids with your walking stick and mutter "Buttheads ..." under your breath.
