Ben Hammersley — adventurer, athlete, programmer, RSS-wonk, reporter — has decided to pull up stakes and become a freelance reporter for a while. In Afghanistan. And he’s going to report it all in his blog. Jeez.
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.
