Imagine being on the 10th floor of an office building, running a laptop hooked to a generator and a satellite Internet connection, and reporting the chaos and disastrous aftermath of Katrina through New Orleans? That's what this lone blogger (http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor) is doing -- for as long as he can.

Provided it's legit (and I've no reason yet to think it isn't), this is amazing stuff, and definitely shows the potential of blogs. Also, this guy's bandwidth is getting slammed with visitor hits, so it might end up going down in the near future.
