Guidebook, a website dedicated to preserving and showcasing Graphical User Interfaces. Excellent. Highly recommended.

It's really interesting to watch an English Premier League match (well. after all, that's what it is). Lots of running & dedication to the game. Spectators are very involved, lots of clapping & cheering even for basic moves & passing.
Excellent.
Eric Sink's interesting, sometimes even funny essay on Closing the Gap. I like the part about sales guys :-)
And I disagree with Eric, excellent sales guys are essential for a successful business. Improving your product will only help so much.
