I think Sheldon Brown's website is another great example.[1] It's a fantastic resource if you're into cycling, and Sheldon made it to Wikipedia with that site[2], which is more than most people with fancy sites can say. Actually, it's probably a better example than Paul Graham, Dan Luu, or Christ Lattner's sites as it shows that not only tech folk will read your basic looking website as long as the content is good.

I reference Sheldon Brown’s website very often. So much good content and advice there.


My favourite bit is how to use a u-lock: put the lock around the back tire within the triangle of the frame, not around the frame itself. This protects both the rear wheel (2nd most expensive part) and the frame because removing the lock would mean cutting through the back wheel. This is widely known as the Sheldon lock strategy.
