- Mon, 14:00: The Toyota made its very first skirt. I'd even consider myself housewifely (weren't it for the layers of dust on everything).
- Tue, 10:19: Happy May Day. We had sun, and the semblance of Spring, but clouds have taken over once again.
- Tue, 10:46: I'm a sucker for the open web, but it's not where everyone is right now.
- Tue, 11:40: I like to read websites in the app I'm currently using: stop insisting I better use your app and making the link vanish in the process.

RL, as in "Was away. RL." Real Life hardly interferes with a person's internet habit nowadays. Smartphones, WiFi, hotspots, broadband have all made sure always on is for everyone. Now the distinction can be made between on or off: you're on at all times or you're not. And right now, everyone is on – unless your social network of choice is suffering from a denial of service attack.
Lurking, or reading along without making yourself known is no big issue. There is so much to read that everyone must be primarily a lurker, a reader. We only engage in conversation when it can be direct chatting, preferably with people we already know. The wish for anonymity or at least a pseudonym isn't so all pervasive either. Everyone is on the internet, so there isn't much that should stay hidden.
MoNiCkErS that alternate between all caps and regular fonts. It was a salute to the hacker-culture that built the world wide web, a way to become part of this subversive culture. When those teenage hackers grew up, their pseudonyms lost the all caps. It's easier to write, and today's youth has thrown out every form of capitals. Who needs pseudonyms anyway?
Anything else that fits on this list?
