Read at your own risk

   Blog Explosion is interesting, addictive, and sometimes annoying. First I can't stand when I win a mystery prize and type the characters in wrong. Of course that's entirely my fault, but It's like having your birthday present taken away from you. Then there's the occasion where you find yourself on a particularly horrible blog. (you may be in that situation now). Then you have to wait those agonizing 30 seconds, and by the time "go" appears you've already rehearsed hitting the number several times. Or there's the 989 and 998 on the same tile and your mysterious dyslexia kicks in and you hit the wrong one.
   And I'm starting to see more legal notices on blogs. One that I saw this evening was noteworthy. The post was about how to be safe while shopping. All were pretty common sense suggestions, but at the end there had to be a disclaimer about seeing a professional before applying the advice to your own life. Where will the madness end? Disclaimers on blog posts, loyalty oaths at rallies, permission slips for the prom, side effects may cause fatal incidents...
   I'm still finding cool sites to read to with Blog Explosion, and I've found other cool blogs through comments here from BE users. Perhaps someone should start to plan a BE convention, but of course you would have to hit the right number to get in, and then you couldn't talk with any one person longer than 30 seconds. And you might have to sign a waiver to attend.
