First day of class! As you might imagine, I’m a little scattered (well, with classes and the fact that we bought a house over the weekend. You know, just that).


The Tavurvur Crater at Rabaul erupting in 1994.

News!

  • The Examiner.com (SF) has a slideshow and brief article on the current excavations of ruins buried by the Santorini/Minoan eruption that occurred ~3950 years ago. The eruption wiped out much of the island of Crete in the Aegean Sea, but whether there was anyone actually still living on the island when it happened is still a mystery. It seems that most of the Minoans left the island long before the volcano erupted – but their culture is still preserved in the ruins.
  • The NASA Earth Observatory has a new image of the long, wispy plume from the Tavurvur cone at Rabaul in Papua New Guinea. This is nothing new at Tavurvur, which tends to be constantly producing a steam (with minor ash) plume, but it is striking how far you can trace the plume even when the volcano is in such a “passive” mode.
  • About halfway down the page in this Colorado Springs Gazette article, more details about the current status of Gorely in Kamchatka is mentioned. Apparently the crater lake at the volcano is warming up, suggesting that magma is rising underneath the volcano. It has been over two decades since Gorely last erupted.

    Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

    I am always sating hotels and the difference in quality and customer service still amazes me. I have done a lot of travelling through business and pleasure and the difference to me between a nice stay and a great stay is welcoming staff. There is nothing worse than checking into a hotel to find that the staff can’t even really be bothered to servce you and show you too your room. I have also stayed at hotels where items of my personal belongings have gone missing after the maids have gone through the place.

    I’ve recently started a webcomic. After viewing some of my favorite other webcomic sites I noticed that they had a ? in every comic posted. My questions are: Do you have to Copyright a webcomic? Is it as simple as just typing in a ? into every comic or do I have to register something somewhere?.
