The Eternal September was pretty awesome, my college just gave you access to a bunch of weird computer programs totally for free where you could send "mail" to your friends and you could go on these "news groups" and be a real pain in the rear end and all that could really happen to you is some nerds would get angry at you. There was even a list in the newspaper of different funny faces you could make by typing punctuation marks.

Also, whatever weekend in 1998 when I found out what furries were.

There was a period of a month or two when I lived in Japan where me and this autistic kid from Australia helped a bunch of Midwestern trolls adjacent to the Portal of Evil forums achieve 24-hour coverage of their trolling operations against furries on Yahoo Clubs. I was pretty non-online at that point and tired of polite Japanese society so it was just about the most fun I'd had since I started going to punk shows. I'm still friends with some of them, and the autistic kid came to the US and we went to a couple of indie wrestling shows.

Also during that time, I had a couple of online interactions with Tina Weymouth of Talking Heads (my favorite band) that ended with me trying and failing to help her open a Word file on an iMac.
