Happy Thanksgiving for those who celebrate this US holiday. The Diary of Samuel Pepys is a blog that posts one entry a day from Samuel Pepys Diary, as if he were blogging in the 17th century. It started with 1st January 1660 on the 1st January 2003, so that means they were up to 6 November 6, 1663 on November 6, 2006 when Noisy Decent graphics posted on the blog. I have heard about it before but wanted to mention it for the record. Cool idea. I checked and it is still going, now doing 1664 (see for example, Tuesday 8 November 1664).
The site has a lot of additional features such as the weather for the day and any parliament notes, as well as an encyclopedia and related articles.
