Nick Edward's Blog. Great young illustrator with some distinctly nerdy subject matter (LARPing!). I see a bit of Spumco and Dave Cooper influence in there.

Dark Dungeons. New retro-clone modelled on the early 90s D&D Rules Cyclopedia, which was after my time, but is well regarded by those in the know. Looks nice, I like the use of illustration.
Matt Haughey at Gel 2010. A fun, short presentation on his experiences with MetaFilter. Part advice on nurturing an online community, part anecdotes.

Early 1900s in Colour. The first proper post in this site's archives is on Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii's colour photographs of the early 1900s. This Albert Kahn collection is a nice companion to that.

Tove Jansson's "Hobbit" illustrations. Let's try and forget the Tolkien of CGI and Orlando Bloom and hark back to the Tolkien of folksy whimsy, eh?
Peter Cushing and his 'Little Wars' set-up. Hardcore nerdery as gentlemanly pursuit. The ur-hobby-game; Little Wars begat Chainmail, which begat Dungeons & Dragons, which more or less begat every RPG, MMO, FPS and sandbox videogame ever made.
