What are some great examples of well-designed personal websites?

My personal website is in need of a redesign but inspiration has not yet struck me. Everyone on hacker news reads a lot or at least visits lots of diverse websites, so post your favorite designs here and hopefully we can all be inspired!

Bret Victor's http://worrydream.com. While the design is interesting, the content is killer.

are you kidding me?

the page doesn't even scroll using the mousewheel or amy possible key (arrows, space, pageupqdown). i have to use the tiny scrollbar on the right.

I'm using chrome on win 7.

completely unusable.

Certainly a very engaging design for a personal portfolio

I'm in the middle of redesigning my portfolio page. This is where I am so far: http://claudesutterlin.com

it's nothing great but if you're interested in building off of it I'll share the code.
