Robozzle. Fun logic/programming based flash game. Direct your robot around a track with simple instructions, conditionals, loops & function calls. User contributed puzzles tend to be slightly too easy, but the execution is pretty nice.

_why at the ART && CODE Symposium. Fun presentation on teaching kids to code, and working programming logic into a game design (via project.ioni.st)
The Night Sky. Really nicely paced slide-based guide on how to read the stars. Loading image-slices sometimes give the game away sadly, would've been better served by flat image maps.
Preventative Maintenance Monthly. Online archive of a technical publication from the U.S. Army presented in comic-book style. Once illustrated by Will Eisner during the Korean War. Anthropomorphic tanks FTW!

10 Signs of Intelligent Life at YouTube. TED talks are awesome, @Google talks are great, edumacashunal video in general is lovely. I'm always on the lookout for more things along those lines.
BetterExplained | Understanding Beyond Your Textbook. Not sure if I've bookmarked this before, but there's a couple of nicely thought out explanations of fundamental mathematical concepts here.
