The Pyra | Official Pyra and Pandora Site edit / delete
Followup to the Pandora: an open-hardware PDA with game controls and a physical keyboard. Like all of these projects, it is Not Cheap.

Historic card games described by David Parlett edit / delete
"These pages [...] present (a) histories of classic games such as Poker and Euchre and (b) details of historic games, such as Gleek and Quadrille, that are now only museum pieces." Lots of interesting stuff here.

The Journal of Open Source Software edit / delete
An open-access journal along the lines of TOMS (i.e. Netlib), but with a wider remit and a more formalised software engineering review process. Nice.

- Revision 19609: /trunk/postfish edit / delete
This is a remarkably useful piece of software -- if only for the high-quality clipping fixer, which I've used on quite a few live recordings.

Bob Eichler's Home Page edit / delete
Fairly high overlap with my interests: classic game hardware, detailed reviews of prog rock albums and shows, Frank Zappa references on MST3K. Pity about the obnoxious Javascript malware injected by the hosting provider!

Ex Astris Scientia - Bernd Schneider's Star Trek Site edit / delete
Terrifyingly complex Star Trek episode and continuity guide. The bits about what got changed (or recreated) in the remastered versions of the TNG episodes are pretty interesting.

Oboe Classics - Geoffrey Burgess on the Oboe as the Custodian of Orchestral Pitch edit / delete
Why orchestras tune to the oboe, and what they've actually been tuning to over time. (They suggest that if you've got a recording at an unknown speed, assuming A=440Hz is actually not a bad idea.)
