For years, I’ve been sizing the “large” versions of the pictures on my
blog to 1024(max) x 720(max). This last week I got my hands on a
Nexus 10 (2560x1600) and they look sort of small and dingy. I
haven’t had any quality time with an Apple Retina display, but I bet
the same issues arise.
This is going to require some study, and I bet my site’s pages are all
going to have to become more complex. -T
I've been having the same kind of thoughts.
JavaScript display size sniffing and multiple versions of each image?
The thought makes my skin crawl...
i haven't dealt with it directly myself, but i've done a bit of reading on the
subject and the default answer is to do a media query in your CSS; i assume (at
some risk) this also works with Nexus 10 browsers
this is one of the better articles i've read (though one could spend hours
scouring for more thoughts):

(don't ignore the "Jobsis observation" toward the end)
and this is pretty good too:

having a good CMS makes it a lot easier to adapt (i doubt this is news to Tim,
though i know he rolls his own CMS so i can't say how hard it will be for him);
on Drupal sites it's already typical for the server auto generate multiple
sizes of an image when uploaded (thumbnail, body-width, full-res, etc.) so it's
not too hard to add another size to this
