spigot: a command-line exact real calculator edit / delete
A calculator which "does not output any digit of the answer until it's sure that the digit is right, and it will keep generating digits until you tell it to stop." Which means it's great if you're after pi, but struggles with numbers like 0.

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!

Kit Rae: Guitars and Gear edit / delete
Lots of guitar-related stuff, but particularly interesting for the detailed history of the Big Muff Pi fuzz pedals -- with discussion of all the different models, circuit differences, etc. -- and Tangerine Dream's film score for "The Keep". A substantial time sink.
