Next blog

Tooled around with the "Next Blog" button today, hoping to enter into random consciousness. Was surprised by the passive prevalence of porn, of non-porn sites taking paid ads from porn companies, of videos that turn out to be porn on sites that don't look like porn. Perhaps I'm just naive.

It was also interesting to see which blogs don't have the next blog button, where you dead end. First off, there's a lot of them, maybe a third. Secondly, what, they want to be disconnected from the rest of the web/blogosphere, standing there unlinked? Like their discourse is better than anybody else's? It can't be sullied? Annoying.

In other news, the blazing hot Community Park school picnic was at least distinguished by being clever enough to have the food in the shade. As per usual, the Mexican food was phenomenal (sopas, taquitos), and each wave of it disappeared before the rumor of it could ripple through the crowd.
