Here are two of the more interesting specialized link collections.
www.martindalecenter.com: Martindale’s Reference Desk has an unusual collection of links with a strong emphasis on science and technology. Subject categories include cyberinfrastructure and the Internet, agriculture, livestock, engineering, astronomy, chemistry, geosciences, materials science, physics, mathematics, archeology, aeronautics, maritime, languages, and health sciences. The site also links to over 23,000 online calculators.
http://home.comcast.net/~dflawson/: Deborah Lawson’s Historical Research Page is a great site. Subject categories include many different periods of history, maps, money, weapons, clothing and accessories, transportation and travel, food and drink, etiquette, language and slang, government, law, occupations, inventions and technology, postal history, crime, sexuality and marriage, household matters, religion, medicine and illness, the military, architecture, diaries and letters, historical newspapers and magazines, and advertising.
New Update: Deborah Lawson’s Historical Research Page recently moved to a new web address. I’ve changed the link above and on the sources page accordingly.

You’ve got a typo in the link to D. Lawson’s page.. Here’s the corrected URL: http://home.insightbb.com/~d.lawson/
Thanks! It’s a nice resource.

I’m so excited to see you have a blog! I will take great pleasure in following your adventures.
(I was at Clarion West this year — the totally geeky girl who got horribly excited at your presentation
.)

Hi, Maggie! It’s great to hear from you. I just started my blog a few days ago, and thanks to Cory, a scary number of people found out about it today.

I posted a link from this post over on BookBalloon.com — the reactions range from glee to outright drooling. Looking forward to more good stuff.
