CONCEPTUAL/FUNDAMENTAL
Cartography Workshop talk from Ohio GIS.
ArcMap Typography NACIS talk.
NACIS, North American Cartographic Information Society, specifically their journal, Cartographic Perspectives. I think CP is only available to members, but I saved a couple here, here, and here. I hope those links work, I might bulk download a bunch and send you them – remind me if you want these. I found the archives, maybe you can access these?
Cartotalk is a great place to lurk or participate.
Imhoff Positioning Names on Maps.

RESOURCES
These links are from my rss reader so the links are to the rss version of the pages, should be easy to get to real thing if you wanted to. I use feedly because I used google reader before and Google shut that down. You should check out reader, it’s basically a contemporary newspaper and you choose the content.
