Parisian BoingBoing pal Jean-Luc sends word of a new experimental moblog:

Twenty-seven-year-old Swedish postal worker Patrik Ahlvik is attempting a North to South European crossing by riding his mail delivery bicycle on a 3 month trip from the Northern tip of Norway down to Gibraltar. Patrick's efforts will be recorded with a Benefon Esc GPS mobile phone and a Nokia 3650 mobile phone. His position will be tracked through his Benefon Esc GPS mobile phone which will be sending positioning information to the Mobilett Position service.

A web page will display the latest report position on a European map. Patrick will be sending information about his journey by sending e-mails, photos, and SMS messages from his Nokia 3650 to this Moblog.biz mobile blogging site created for the occasion. The Mobilett Position / Noll7Noll site is here.
