Glenn Reynolds never linked

Too much of a good thing at the other end of D. Challener Roe's "2,996 Project: A Tribute to the Victims of 9/11." All afternoon it's been unavailable. At first we thought to our selves, "Instalanche." But no. Glenn Reynolds never linked. After searching out something we'd heard about earlier in the day -- via InstaPundit -- we realized that a link from the awesome Wired was to blame:

"Back in 2001, blogs were still very much the geek toy of the Slashdot set," he said. "(But) this collective tragedy demanded a forum to be shared by people all around the world who wanted to talk about what happened with anyone because it was the only way of making any sense of it. Were it to happen again, blogs and social networks would play an enormously cathartic role."

The vivid events live on in countless blog posts. NYC Bloggers, a directory of hundreds of New Yorkers' blogs, continues to link to dozens of articles for posterity, while the September 11 Digital Archive project maintains a historical catalog of noteworthy blog posts among 130,000 e-mails, audio recordings, video clips and photographs documenting the event.

This year, another project is recruiting 2,996 volunteer bloggers to post individual memorials celebrating the life of each 9/11 victim.

Well, there you are. Once the big day is past, the link will become accessible, but no one will be there.

Nope. He isn't back. Not at the original link. But the link you provided did work.
