Make 17th October 2006 One Day in History day.
"We want as many people as possible - tens of thousands of UK residents - to record a 'blog' diary of this one day to be by the British Library and others as a record of our national life.
And we want to urge people to reflect in their diaries how history itself impacted on them - whether it be simply commuting through an historic environment, or how business history influenced their decision-making, or merely that they looked up some old sports statistics or listened to some pop music from the 1960s. It could be anything."
All this will be in a similar vein to Mass Observation (the diaries of some members can be found reproduced in Our Hidden Lives, a thoroughly excellent book which I own).
I'll be participating and I hope a large number of you guys on my friends list will also :)
The page to fill it out on is here. I'll also be writing mine out on my LJ :)
