When I first saw this a few weeks ago, it was the first SNL sketch I'd laughed at in a very long time. Glad to see it's made its way to MySpace.

2,996 innocent victims died in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Over 3,400 bloggers are participating in the 2,996 project, with each blogger honoring one victim’s life. You can read about all kinds of people who died that day, from a fireman saving lives to a 4-year-old on her first trip to Disneyland. You’ll find a list of participants and links here. Bring your hankies.

update: The 2,996 site has crashed the server. An alternate list of tributes is available at The Blogging Times.

- Just wanted to let you know your wife and I had sex. Sorry about that.
- Of course I was on the juice. Heads just don't grow that big by themselves.
- Yes, there were explosives in Tower 7. How did you think it came down?

The 2067 Project seems cool, but you might want to start small. Maybe send yourself an e-mail on Thursday as a reminder to pick up the dry cleaning.

Via We Make Money Not Art, what happens when trees are no longer able to turn carbon dioxide into the oxygen we need to breathe? Smoke Tree is a new virtual sculpture by John Gerrard, in which the foliage of a tree produces carbon in place of oxygen.

You wouldn't think a tree chimney could be beautiful, but obviously that's not the case.

No better way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Art or not, it was definitely pretty cool.
