Monitor’s story about blogs in Slovenia. Click for BeeBee’s (illegally) scanned pages.

Nikolaj PeÄ?enko has put together a long and well-written story about local blogs for the computer magazine Monitor.
There are a few things worth noting about it: First, it’s very
complimentary and never once uses the phrase "burn in hell, geeks."
Second, the man really did his homework. Not only does he manage to
get all the biographical details of my life correct (something even I
can no longer do) he even uncovers the identity of the notoriously
secretive BeeBee. For those of you who don’t know, she never blogs from
the same computer twice, moving instead from spider hole to spider hole
under the cover of night. It took me six months to find out what her
real first name was.

But from what he writes about Vidmar,
for example, it’s clear that he did what many journalists wouldn’t do in his case,
which is make the effort to actually read his blog. (On that note, it
was nice to see David’s great TV guide published there.)

If you can read Slovene, the complete story is here.
