Washington, D.C. (September 10, 2008) -- For the last several years, TVPredictions.com has published at least one daily news article -- and on some days -- up to a dozen different daily articles on High-Definition TV issues.
I am proud of that record. I've written stories on Saturdays and Sundays, holidays, on my wedding day, and even on two gray mornings before my parents were laid to rest. My Mom and Dad taught me to work hard and I know of no better way to honor them than to show my commitment here on a daily basis.
But tomorrow, we will not publish a single new item -- not the Top 10 Hottest Shows, not the daily HD Hottie.feature, not an article about a new channel launch, nothing. Not even if there's a major breaking news story related to high-def.
If there is a big story on Thursday, you'll have to read it on another site.
Instead, tomorrow, I want to honor the dead and missing from the terrorist attack that struck our nation seven years ago. It's hard to believe that it's been seven years since it occurred -- and I wonder if many others feel the same way. Consequently, I fear that our memories of how horrible that day was -- how unforgivable it was -- are starting to fade, even just a little.
If that's true, it simply can not be. We must remember, each and every day.
So, tomorrow, we will do our part by not publishing any new stories or features -- or our daily Swanni Sez newsletter. By going silent for the day, I hope you might take the time you devote to reading our site to perhaps saying a prayer for the fallen, or just remembering them in your heart for a few moments.
This web site, of course, is dependent on your readership -- and the ad dollars that follow. But tomorrow, we will dedicate our cause to something far more important.
Thanks for your understanding -- and we will see you back on Friday with our usual fare.
