No, Irv is right.  If day 1 of the third millennium was January 1st,
2001, then today, March 19th, 2009, is day 3000.

I imagine the error on timeanddate.com comes from assigning day number
zero to January 1st, 2001, in which case day number 3000 is tomorrow.
But even if you consider today to be day number 2999 in a zero-based
count, that's still the 3000th day!

Even if you don't have recourse to a JD or RD calculator, it's not
hard to tally up:

Dec 31, 2001: day  365
Dec 31, 2002: day  730
Dec 31, 2003: day 1095
Dec 31, 2004: day 1461
Dec 31, 2005: day 1826
Dec 31, 2006: day 2191
Dec 31, 2007: day 2556
Dec 31, 2008: day 2922
Jan  31, 2009: day 2953
Feb  28, 2009: day 2981
Mar  19, 2009: day 3000
