pepys

My current websession is the online diary of Samuel Pepys. Pepys is thought to be one of the first true bureaucrats. His quasi-secret diary has long been a source of information about the Restoration years for historians, and some smart fellow realized that in these blog-crazed days, it made great sense to convert Mr. Pepys' famous diaries, one day at a time, into a blog. Annotations by readers (which, by the way, are a large part of the fun so don't miss them), discussion of what different kinds of 16th century meat products were, and everything. Neat!
