A brief plug for those who pay the bills.

This is the first time I've been associated with a website that sells advertising space, and what with them paying the bills and all, I figured that clicking on the ad was the least I could do in return. I wasn't planning to actually post anything about it, but there's a cool little applet over at the Discovery Channel's Krakatoa site. If you click here, you'll find a small program that lets you create a virtual volcano. If you've ever wondered why some volcanoes (like Mt. St. Helens or Krakatoa) explode violently, while others (like Kilauea) produce much more sedate lava flows, head over there and spend a few minutes playing with their volcano explorer.
