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!
