I’m hoping that one of you might have run across something like this in your internet journeys.

For a story I’m working on, I need an online generator that will allow me to check off mental illness symptoms and return potential diagnosis. Like a choose-your-own disorder. Has anyone seen anything like that?

It’s almost like hanging out with George Orwell.

The Orwell Prize, Britain’s pre-eminent prize for political writing, is publishing George Orwell’s diaries as a blog. From 9th August 2008, Orwell’s domestic and political diaries (from 9th August 1938 until October 1942) will be posted in real-time, exactly 70 years after the entries were written.

Edited to add: Dan Goodman pointed out that there’s a LiveJournal feed: orwelldiaries
