Blogging in the Eye of the Storm

Blogs are a fascinating development, allowing practically anyone the potential of reaching an audience of millions. Throughout the events of the last few days in New Orleans, there’s been a bunch of people holed up on the 10th floor of a building there which houses a computer data centre. They’ve been determined to keep the data centre running. One of them has been keeping a blog of the events. Pretty scary stuff.

 

The blogger seems to be a survivalist – probably not the type of person you would want to get on the wrong side of, but handy to have around at times like those in New Orleans. Me? I’m a lapdog of civilisation – when it goes, I go – I doubt that I’d survive to see the new world order.
