This is not strictly Montana — but may be of interest to Montana bloggers. There are a couple of intriguing global events coming up.
First, from Listics:
The Web is worth celebrating.
OneWebDay is one day a year when we all – everyone around the physical globe – can celebrate the Web and what it means to us as individuals, organizations, and communities.
As with Earth Day – an inspiration and model for OneWebDay – it’s up to the celebrants to decide how to celebrate. We encourage all celebrations! Collaboration, connection, creativity, freedom.
By the end of the day, the Web should be just a little bit better than it was before, and we’ll be able to see our connection to it more clearly.
Then, via problogger:
On October 15th, bloggers around the web will unite to put a single important issue on everyone’s mind – the environment. Every blogger will post about the environment in their own way and relating to their own topic. Our aim is to get everyone talking towards a better future…
Both of these look challenging, fun, and possibly even worthwhile. I’m giving them some thought.

Interesting choice of Saturday, September 22 as OneWebDay:
The holiest day on the Jewish calendar, the one-day Jewish Biblical Holy Day of Yom Kippur (Lev. 16:29-31, 23:26-32), coincides this year with Shabbat (the Sabbath) and begins at 18 minutes before sunset on Friday night, September 21, and ends at 42 minutes after sunset on Saturday night, September 22 on the civil calendar.
thanks – we’re deeply aware of the conflict with Yom Kippur this year, which is why so much of OneWebDay happens on the days leading up to the 22nd (in online videos and other events). This is the last time that 9/22 will conflict with a Jewish holiday for several years.
We chose 9/22 in 2005 as an echo of Earth Day (always on 4/22), and as a day that’s relatively early in the school year.
Next year this conflict won’t happen, and, again, we apologize for the confluence this year.

Wow — this is unfortunate — I wonder if there is something non-Jewish bloggers could do on that day, in acknowledgment?
