Strong opinions, weakly held, still to this day.
A 25-Year Archive of Early Web History
rc3.org is one of the old school 20th century blogs, started back in 1998. I was obsessed with weblogs from the earliest days, and was an enthusiastic participant in the original blogging era. Blogs are old enough now that even the histories of blogs are old. I still have incredibly fond memories of being a member of the community back when it was really small.
