Is there any blog or document that gives a basic "tour" or "overview" of the Satoshi code? I could just dive in but it would help to read an introduction first.
want to study the Satoshi (bitcoind) code

Take a look at the Bitcoin protocol specification and in more general the Bitcoin wiki. Also, the original paper of Satoshi is a good read.
EDIT: I recently found an article on Bitcoin Talk about the Satoshi client code structure. It's an interesting read too!
I have done that already, but I would like something that tells me how the source files are organized, what the key classes are, etc. – RentFree – 2013-11-20T17:03:48.653
@RentFree Read main.cpp and main.h and you'll have a good idea of that. The most important logic and classes are in those files. – theymos – 2013-11-21T04:06:00.337
