Think you can do a better job then FEMA? Chewbacca throws a pitch and other oddness at Daniel Spisak on Technology

Check out this interactive game about a supervolcano incident. See how good your disaster management skills are.

In other strange news I saw this on Yahoo recently:

Chewbacca throws first pitch at Red Sox-Blue Jays game

An actor playing Chewbacca throws out the ceremonial first pitch prior to a game between the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays Fenway Park in Boston, Wednesday Sept. 28, 2005. Chewbacca and an actress playing Princess Leia were promoting the Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination exhibit at the Museum of Science in Boston. (AP Photo/Charles Krupa)

Also, in other news if you have heard about the AtomChip and their AMAZING 6.8GHz SG220-2 Supercomputer Notebook I’d like to assue you it is a total hoax! I mean come on, just check out this crazy photo of theirs:

'Optical' transciever

Their item key in this photo states:

NvIOpRAM 24GB-128GB [3-pin]

1. Removable NvIOpRAM
2. Optical lens
3. Pinout [Power supply]
4. Pinout [Read/Write enable]
5. Pinout [Ground]
6. Stationary adapter, which is connected to the
optical fiber and electrical cables, mounted to
the case of the computer
7. Pinouts [Power supply,Read/Write enable and Ground)

It’s a freaking Stereo 1/4″ mini phono jack from RadioShack! Please people, dont fall for this BS or I will have to come scrub your brains out with steel wool vigourously.

If your viewing this site with Internet Explorer it may not look correct because IE is horrible about following W3C web standards properly or consistently. I suggest you try browsing the Internet with Firefox. It is much better and not as vulnerable to security flaws as IE can be.

Yeah… I think that game illustrates exactly what’s wrong with FEMA. They expect you to have a plan beforehand and don’t let you respond to things as they happen.
