Blegged?

Saw this on Freakonomics
Last week I blegged, seeking information for the next edition of The Yale Book of Quotations, about Bill Gates’s undoubtedly apocryphal quotation, “640K ought to be enough for anybody.” Today I continue with legendary computer sayings.
My only question is this: is blegged the past tense of blog? Why isn't it just blogged, then?

its one of those new "words" spawned by the internet - a combo of "blog" and "beg" resulting in, not a blog post, but a "bleg" in which you request info from your readers. in my case it is easier to just ask my wife directly.
