First — A quick update on the 2,996 project. As of this time, (8:50 AM Eastern) there are 2828 participants in the project. Just 168 more are needed. If you are a blogger, please sign up today. You can see the posts I’ve made on this project here. On September 11th I will be remembering Neil Dollard. This weekend, and over the next two weeks, I will be trying to find out more about Mr. Dollard who died at the World Trade Center.

Blue Crab Boulevard Images Matter – Honest Images Matter Most — “Moeller goes on to describe the history of imagery in wartime. Of course such images are enormously powerful and enormously influential on public opinion. That is why it is vital the images be honest.”

Don Surber Everything proves global warming — “Yup. It sure does. What do you do with the inconvenient fact that glaciers are growing in the Himalayans? Why just pawn it off as further proof of global warming.”

Right Truth (Debbie) Iran’s new phase in the Arak heavy-water reactor — “Iran’s president Ahmadinejad has kept his promise of August 22, 2006 to provide the world with a ‘new nuclear surprise’ in a few days. That day is today. Ahmadinejad announced a ‘new phase’ in nuclear activity at the heavy-water reactor site at Khondab, near Arak. This is a slap in the face to the useless security council at the United Nations, who meets on August 31 to discuss Iran’s nuclear program.”

I’m sure by now that many, if not most, are aware of the 2,996 project. If not, here is a brief overview:

2,996 is a tribute to the victims of 9/11.

On September 11, 2006, 2,996 volunteer bloggers
will join together for a tribute to the victims of 9/11.
Each person will pay tribute to a single victim.

We will honor them by remembering their lives,
and not by remembering their murderers.

September 11th is just over three weeks away. Yesterday event organizer D.C. Roe announced that the 2000th blogger had signed up to participate. Less than a thousand more bloggers are needed to join in and participate in this amazing tribute.

If you are a blogger I encourage you to join in. If you’ve already signed up, today would be a great day to encourage others. If you haven’t signed up yet, please do so. Now.

You can sign up here.

I will try to add links to those who are blogging about the project today. You can create your own link by creating a post and a trackback to this post.

Again, let’s push this very worthy project to it’s goal. Every victim deserves to be remembered. It’s the least we can do.
