Has there recently been more volcanic activity than usual?

Is it just me or does there seem to be an increased number of eruptions lately? If so, is it a sign of something potentially bigger such as the big California quake or even perhaps a Yellowstone eruption?

No,  there's no uptick,  and no,  that's not how relationships work.  The magma plumbing underneath individual volcanoes often operates on timescales of thousands to hundreds of thousands of years, and they're not linked to one another. 

The press go through cycles of being interested but there's always 10-20 volcanoes erupting.
