Live updates to a blog entry, possible?

Hi.
I have a user who will be at an event, and I want to provide him a way to constantly update a single blog entry. However, I dont want him to have to continually edit the same entry.
Is there an easy way of acheiving this? Like a module that posts a couple sentences to the same blog entry each time?
In case I wasnt clear
In case I wasnt clear enough, I want something like a chatroom that the user can just keep putting small bits of into into and then hit enter/submit. This will in turn post the data to the site?

Sorry, I can't help you much with a solution; I don't think you'll find a module.
But, I'd be interested in knowing what the problem is with just editing the node?
You *may* want to look at Tribune:
http://drupal.org/project/tribune
It is an xml chat module. The reason why you *might* find it interesting is that it keeps a log of the chat in a flat file. So it might be easy to copy/paste the chat into a node after the event as a permanent record, and would also allow other users to participate/intetact live with the user attending the event.
Well, I want to provide the
Well, I want to provide the users as close to real time information as possible. So if my user is at an event and he is writing down dialogue or what not, I want him to be able to quickly submit it without having to submit the node, then click edit on the node every few minutes. I would like it as real time as possible, kind of like a one person chat. Almost like a much bigger node version of shoutbox?
Thanks for the tribune link, I will have a look.
haha, wow the description
haha, wow the description for tribune is "like a large shoutbox".
Thanks, I think this will work.
