Live and in glorious detail

With my current job it's important that we stay knowledgable about current events. As lets face it it's entirely possible that anything which could happen anywhere at anytime will affect the very next call you take.

So as you can imagine there's been a lot of focus on Japan right now. Which is well... what can you say. Here you have one of if not the most technically advanced nation in the world going about it's business and Mother Nature suddenly decides to go thwack!

The shots coming out of Japan are almost unbelievable and the death rate even more so. It's a shame that the higher the death rate goes the harder it is to grasp it. Whole towns have been wiped away. Just gone. I was thinking about Geektown and just couldn't imagine what it would be like if one morning it was just gone.

Of course with everything going on in Japan it's easy to forget that things are still kicking off in the Middle East as well.

It certainly is a very unsettled world right now.
