Samuel Pepys' weblog will be playing in realtime, over the next ten years. Phil Gyford's taken Pepys' diary (which is copyright free and made electronic by Project Gutenberg) and is running posts beginning 1 January 1659/60, starting on 1 January 2003. It's brilliantly footnoted, with characters and places hyperlinked (places are even linked to current-day streetmaps), and references to further information. Excellent work, like the www should be. More like this please.
