On this day two years ago, in an act of terrorism, two planes deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center in NYC, destroying it, and killing over 3000 people. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon. A fourth went down in rural Pennsylvania, an act of great heroism and self-sacrifice by the passengers on board. In no way minimizing the suffering and grief caused by the crashes, it was also a day of incredible growth for the weblog world, and emphasized the need to continue to develop decentralized communication systems that route effectively around outages.

Highly recommended: Chris Lydon's interview with Elaine Scarry, for a perspective on the heroism of the citizens of 9-11. They were more effective than the Pentagon, on less notice, on a much tighter budget. It'll give you an idea of the kind of defense we're buying with all those trillions of dollars.

Also, the Day 1 education panel is complete. Jenny Levine, The Shifted Librarian, will participate. Excellent. I still have to get writeups for all the Day 1 panels. But things are starting to finalize. Is it soup yet? Almost! ";->"
