Audioblogging From Kilimanjaro Via Satellite Phone

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the got-any-hot-chocolate? dept.

GlucoPilot writes "Apparently a charity called Cops On Top is climbing Kilimanjaro as a memorial to the late Officer Isaac Espinoza of the SFPD. That in itself is pretty amazing, but the /. amazing thing is that they are AudioBlogging the whole thing via Satellite Phone by calling to an audioblogging site and having their MP3s automatically posted to their dasBlog (open source blogging system) at www.copsontop.com/climblog. Cool stuff. Their latest blog post is at 15,500 ft."

    We'll be able to listen to people freeze to death via Satellite phone? I've always wondered what that's like, and now I won't even have to die to find out.
