As many of you know, I did the media fast website for 9/11 4 years ago because I didn’t want to see all the images playing over and over and over again on TV as I felt it cheapened what people had gone through.
Well… I found something media-related that I actually *like* and approve of. It’s the 2,996 Project. You sign up and are assigned a name of a person killed that day. On 9/11, you post a tribute to them on your blog.
I really encourage people to sign up for this. If you hate the idea, that’s fine — you don’t have to participate. I’m just putting the word out because I’m #17xx of the 2996 they need and I’d love to see every victim have a tribute posted about them.

I didn’t even know about that until you blogged it. I’m thinking about doing it… sometimes huge tragedies like that can become impersonal. What a great idea.
