The world of blogging has gotten quite innovative in the three years since Hurricane Katrina, but some ideas still stand out. Case in point: The Times-Picayune reporter Chris Kirkham has been
blogging from a shrimp boat out in the storm near Lafitte, La.
Managing Editor Peter Kovacs refers to Kirkham as "The Forest Gump of Gustav." The blog, which includes video, monitored all
the hurricane warnings and covered preparations for the storm.
