17th century blog

This guy Phil Gyford decided to publish daily, starting on Jan.1, 2003, the entire diary of Samual Pepys (1633-1703), day by day, over the course of the next 10 years. I think this is fucking cool. “Hella-cool” is a term NEVER used in the 1600’s. The following is a quote from the “about” page on the site…

This site is a presentation of the diaries of Samuel Pepys, the renowned 17th century diarist who lived in London, England (read more about him). A new entry written by Pepys will be published each day, with the first appearing on 1st January 2003. This site is run by Phil Gyford (who is far from an expert) and questions and comments are more than welcome at phil@gyford.com.”

Slashdot has a little more on it.
