Putting on my Lit major hat for a moment

So cool--someone had the bright idea to put Samuel Pepys' diary on the web, like a blog, entry by entry. They just started on Wednesday, beginning with his entry of 1 January 1660. You can go comment on it and everything. For those of you who were neither English Literature nor History majors, Samuel Pepys kept a daily diary of life in England during the mid-seventeenth century, when Oliver Cromwell had just died. One usually reads some excerpts at school. Not quite as entertaining as Boswell, but it will do.
