Search News from Limbo

MY COMPUTER IS A STRANGE LOOP*

When I try the "next blog" feature on the Blogspot site, a blog for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory appears followed by a blog "Redacted News" followed by a Los Alamos National Laboratory blog. This stays in a loop, with occasional miscellaneous pages showing up, but continually returning to the two national laboratory pages.

My initial page was the News from Limbo URL without me being signed into Google.

Now this is strange. I can't help wondering whether some coding glitch of a national lab monitor is behind this phenomenon. The NSA isn't the only agency capable of all kinds of wild stuff on the internet. The national labs are bristling with supercomputers and computer scientists, of course.

Or maybe, it's just another funny coincidence. But, a while back I was monitoring national lab pages in search of interesting news items...
