Busy times for me right now, but I haven’t disappeared. If you look over to the left side of the screen just under my most recent posts, you’ll notice that I’ve embedded a chat box. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about ways of expanding the means of communicating with readers, and this is one option that really intrigues me. (I use chat every day at work, so it’s not an entirely foreign concept.) I’d like to try it out and see if it’s worth keeping. You’ll know I’m available at that moment to chat when my status reads “Bob K. is online.” Even if I’m not around, you can still message me. So, come on and chat with me!
