Thar She Blows!!!
What are you doing reading this blog when you could be watching Mt. St. Helens erupt from the comfort of your desk??!!! Check out the Mt. St. Helens VolcanoCam:

There was a pretty good-sized puff this morning! A big plume of steam and ash belched out of the crater and sailed up higher than the camera's view. Pretty cool.
Look, I know that we're in the midst of a hard-fought presidential campaign, al-Qaeda terrorists are trying to kill us all, Iraq is not yet a functioning country, construction workers just cut down a bunch of beautiful locust trees outside my new office, and I can't seem to get Swing icons to draw in color. We've got problems, no doubt about it.
But when I can sit here at my desk, write Java code to implement my new OutlineView, and watch a volcano erupt in real-time - it's good to be alive!
