Journeys with Jaye

Back, and a Call to Help

I’m (hopefully) back to blogging.  It’s been really hard to write about the last 9 months, but I plan on playing catch up.  There have been many big moments in the guild, in the game, and in MMOs in general.  I’m still trying to untangle that.

This entry is far more important for a different reason.  Those who might have followed my blog in the past know that I’ve helped participate in the 2,996 project, which is a blogger tribute to the victims of 9/11.  Each year, bloggers sign up and are assigned the name of one of the victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Flight 93.  The first year of the project, in 2006, there were over 3,000 bloggers that participated.  It struck me this year, when I signed up, how few bloggers were participating – only 687 so far with a couple of weeks left.

So I’m putting out a call to this amazing blogger community – if you can help, please head to the 2,996 project site and volunteer to remember a victim of 9/11.   Even though it’s still summer, it’s right around the corner.  No matter what your political views are, 9/11 is about the people that had their lives cut short that day – a day to celebrate what they did with the time they had.

When you sign up, you will be given the name of one of the victims of 9/11.  There are some great links on the site to help you with research, as well as tips on how to look for more information.  You’re welcome to look at my sidebar for past tribute examples, and feel free to contact me if you’re having trouble finding information for your tribute.

Don’t have a blog you say?  No problem!  You can either sign up directly at the Project 2,996 site, where they have set up a collaborative blog, or you can sign up using my site name – journeyswithjaye.com, and then send me your tribute (jayernh@hotmail.com), which I will gladly post.

Thanks in advance.  The victims of 9/11 deserve to be remembered through our words.
