A very nice project report on the design and build of a simple Nixie tube clock including an unexpectedly in-depth section on the design of the custom flyback boost converter. The tubes are driven by individual transistors, controlled by an stm32 uC, powered and programmed over USB-C, and housed in a custom machined stainless steel case.
This review makes me want to play with these microcontrollers.
Arduino started as a fork of a microcontroller library/IDE/dev board called Wiring. Here the creator of Wiring weighs in a bit on the origins of and some of the drama surrounding Arduino.
A comparison 21 different microcontrollers — all less than $1.
A concise writeup of a homebrew z80 game console which uses two Atmega1284 uC as a double-buffered graphics accelerator.
I'm not sure where this came from (some class handout?) but it is a very nice guide to hand-drawing Bode plots.
Educational electronics weblog with a good name I came across today.
Two little boost converters from a single 8-pin ATtiny uC.
Robert Baruch is getting custom LCDs manufactured in China at surprisingly low quantities and total cost.

These low-cost 8051 microcontrollers with USB look interesting.
This guy has many elegant AVR projects.
I like the chassis/enclosure design of this little 2-wheel WiFi-controlled car.

Another great IC photo and write up from Ken Shirriff which explains how Intel's 8087 used different gate widths in its ROM to encode two-bits of information per address.
