Attack of the Blogger Robots



Apparently, the robots at Google, having recently been upgraded with a new form of artificial intelligence, are beginning to initiate an agenda all there own.

This of course comes as no surprise to any of us who have been following Google's attempts to gain world domination though a plan to not only control the intertubes, but to also create an army of robotic droids to enforce their cyber supremacy called "Project Skynet".

Having breathed life into their automaton minions, Google now seems to have lost control of their creations. The robots apparently have intellectually evolved beyond their programming and are attempting to overthrow Google's "Blogger" platform.

Perhaps it was this blogs advocacy on behalf for those deemed "alien" by the corporatocracy ….or a misunderstanding of terminology ….that brought down the wrath of the robots.

Your blog, at http://migramatters.blogspot.com/, has been
identified as a potential spam blog. …This blog has been locked by Blogger's spam-prevention robots. You will not be able to publish your posts, but you will be able to save them as drafts"

The humans at Google were quick to rectify the damage done by their wayward droids, and apologized "on behalf of the robots"….

Blogger's spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. Since you're an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this false positive.

We received your unlock request ….. On behalf of the robots, we apologize for locking your non-spam blog. Please be patient while we take a look at your blog and verify that it is not spam.

...But somehow I fear that we have not seen the end of this robot uprising, and we "actual persons" need to be ever vigilant about the growing power of robots....before it's too late.

Sorry ...just realized that those under 45 might not get the reference:

"Klaatu barada nikto" originates from the Cold War-era science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951). The phrase was used to stop the robot Gort from destroying the Earth: "Gort! Klaatu barada nikto!"

Western Australia: Adventure Travelers keen to experience Western Australia’s wide range of activities must be prepared to cover a good deal of ground. For although the state has plenty of appropriate venues, including rivers, mountains and caves, they tend to be separated by enormous stretches of outback.. Traveling through the immense arid lands of Western Australia can, however, be thought of as an adventure in itself, one that makes your arrival in places like the Kimberley or the Pilbara all the more exciting. The Kimberley alone could supply a lifetime of thrills, with its vast plateaus and myriad gorges offering endless challenges for walkers, river runners, climbers and cavers alike. Similar opportunities abound in the Pilbara. Self-sufficiency and high-level bush skills are essential in these areas and in other remote parts of Western Australia, where emergency services may be a long way away. Only in the south-west of the state will you find an impressive array of adventure-sports locations within a relatively small, densely populated area. The proximity of delightful beaches, wineries, historic towns and other more general tourist attractions make this an especially enjoyable region to explore.
