I knew most of these… but three are some good writeups, and I like how they have the site all laid out nice and simple… it could be prettier… but it’s some good lists.  The only major issue is that it’s sorta being used to direct you to lists to buy stuff.  So don’t bother clicking on Pictures, just read, suck it in… and tell me a better resource.
