as for technical blogs, the only ones I get consistently useful information from are: http://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/, from which I've learnt a great deal about vim and also about some obscure but historically significant unix tools which otherwise I'd never have known of. http://archlinux.me/ Every now and then a good in depth article pops up pn this one. Dev blogs are great for learning about the nitty gritty details of a project aswell as getting a grip on the problems devs are facing right now.

I find Planet blog aggregators a useful and surprisingly unknown resource. Great way to get a view into the blogs of a whole project community without having to follow a pile of them individually; I recommend following the Planet for any project you regularly use or have a strong interest in. I personally follow these planets regularly (via a bookmark folder that I open into tabs): Planet Debian: http://planet.debian…

Planet Node.js: http://planetnodejs.com/

I also follow:

- Planet Python: http://planet.python.org/

- Planet Django: http://www.planetdjango.org/

The following are interesting if you're user of the Linux distribution and sometimes overlap with other planets (ie. Gnome):

- Planet Fedora: http://planet.fedoraproject.org/

- Planet Ubuntu: http://planet.ubuntu.com/

Shameless plug to my own blog: http://blog.vjeux.com

Another shameless plug: http://izbicki.me I have both technical AI type posts and also a bit of religion.

Since this appears to be the dedicated thread for self promotion, http://bbot.org/blog/

http://newspacewatch.com/ - Newspace sector news. Clark Lindsey knows what's going on. If you want to set into context what SpaceX does, this is the place: Usually it's something that other companies have already done on a smaller scale.

http://www.43rumors.com/ - Micro four thirds camera news, only interesting if you have one or are going to buy one.

http://www.greencarcongress.com/ - Automotive sector technologies. This is the engineering style site: just mostly text and more in depth press releases. No fancy word plays or car show girls. I do wonder though, why we are not in a better position as a new massively improved cheap battery technology is discovered every week...

http://planet3.org/ - Climate scientists write thoughtfully. Also in the comments. It's not as massive as realclimate and it's much less formal.

Hacker News

If it's good enough it will make it's way on here. If not, there's no point in me repeatedly checking their site or collecting it into a big RSS dump where I have to wade through 99% crap to get to the good bits.

Hacker News does a great job of giving me the HREFs I like to click on and that's one of the reasons I keep coming back.
