I agree about gwern.net, that's actually one of the first things that popped into my mind. A lot of personal sites from academia still follow this approach as well (see Don Knuth's page[1], for example). In the early days of the web, most personal sites were like that (and most were hosted on university sites). There wasn't this idea that you should be producing a constant stream of thoughts on the hot topic of the day.
