Status set to online. Mood set to away lyrics.
Connected at soul speed
Ethernet 2000 Era
Back when going online felt like entering another world.

The cable clicked.
The router blinked.
Windows XP loaded.
MSN popped up.
Forums were alive.
Games were LAN.
Websites had soul.
The internet was slower.
But it was ours.
Desktop shortcuts
Icons from the old world
ICQ
Uh-oh. Somebody just logged into the timeline.
Winamp
Skins, playlists, and one perfect 128kbps chorus.
LimeWire
Every download was a leap of faith.
LAN Party
Plastic chairs, warm soda, cables under the table.
Forums
Signatures, avatars, inside jokes, real threads.
100x100 Avatars
Your whole personality, compressed into a square.
Counter-Strike 1.6
Find server. Join team. Buy menu. Rush B.

The cable back
$ETHERNET is the cable back to the real internet.
Before the feed. Before the algorithm. Before everything became content. We logged in, searched, built weird little places, and found each other.
