Ben Hammersley’s Dangerous Precedent

Armed only with a powerbook and some fine pipe tobacco,
Ben Hammersley is a journalist, a writer, and an errant developer of
semantic web technology. He is about to give all us armchair bloggers
a lesson in pro-active blogging. He is going to the source for his next
story – Afganistan.

"So, anyway. I figure it’s about the time this nano-publishing journalism-of-the-future
meme started to get off its collective bottom. So I’m off to Afghanistan
for your education and pleasure. I fly to Islamabad tomorrow, and from
there by train or bus to Peshawar. On Saturday I’ll be crossing the Khyber
Pass and making my way to Kabul. All being well, technology and men-with-guns
willing, I’ll be posting from every stop, and weblogging from Afghanistan
for ten days or so. Movable Type meets Mujahedeen. It’s going to be fun."

Sure
sounds like it. Wish I could go. Stay tuned for the stories….
