Back when I discovered the Internet in 1996 or 1997, the first thing that blew me away was live chat. You could jump into any room and suddenly be conversing with strangers from around the globe. To me, that was a marvel of technology and one that shrank the planet to the size of a computer monitor. What an astounding invention this chat, bridging the chasm between nations and cultures, reestablishing old friends and forging new ones. Spectacular.

Then everyone started getting naked.

I have inserted a chat function into the blog. If you scroll down a little, you will find it on the right side of the page. I have no idea if this will serve any purpose at all. Maybe you’ll all jump in and together, work out plans to solve the economic crisis. Maybe you’ll just get naked and I’ll have to come by with a mop every morning. Either is fine by me. Just remember: The Screaming Room is not responsible for unplanned pregnancies, social diseases or rectal trauma.
