Pepysdiary re-presents, in blog format or via RSS feed, the words of Samuel Pepys exactly 403 years after the famed British diarist wrote them down. Run by Phil Gyford, an admitted non-expert, the site draws its text from Project Gutenberg and contains internal links, background material, and annotations. I wonder if this is the first remediation of a literary text in weblog format. Anyone know of similar projects?

Update (12/23/03): Pepysdiary has been down for the last couple days. Too much traffic?

Further update 12/30/03): Pepysdiary is up as of right now, but it seems to be blinking in and out. Hmm.
