Another NASA Photo
From the Iceland Review Online:
Lava continues to pour out of two fissures near Eyjafjallajökull as the eruption near the Fimmvörduháls Pass enters its third week. This satellite image shows the eruption on April 4, 2010. The original fissure—originally about 1,000 meters (3,000 feet) long and composed of several distinct vents—has coalesced into a single vent. The new fissure is hidden under a volcanic plume, likely composed primarily of steam. Black lava flows reach several kilometers north ...
Surtsey
There are fewer neat photographs of the eruption at Eyrafjallajokull. The world is getting less interested. However, I found this neat photograph of Surtsey, the island south of the Iceland that was formed by a volcanic eruption in the ocean in 1963-67. Since the eruption ended, the island has been colonized by plants. Sea birds are nesting there. Seals are basking and breeding. Orcas come to check out the seals. Starfish, sea urchins and limpets live on the island's underwater slopes.

Minicon
I went to Minicon Saturday and Sunday.
The con felt pleasanter and more interesting than in prior years. I liked the programming and the dealers' room, especially Dreamhaven's books and Elise Matthesen's jewelry.
I told Greg Ketter of Dreamhaven I had a couple of small press books coming out and tried to set up a meeting with Moshe Feder, who edits for Tor on a contract basis. I wanted to hear what's going on in the New York publishing scene, since I am way out of touch. However, he was tied u...

Crediting the Quote
I thought I ought to credit the quote about The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged posted below. (The site where I found it gave no credit. The quote is so fine that this seemed wrong.) I input the first line of the quote into Google and got 103,000 results.
Most of those I checked also gave no credit for the quote. Two or three credited the blog Kung Fu Monkey. I went there and found the quote, not attributed to anyone else. Kung Fu Monkey has it, till I learn otherwise.
