Don't really have a favourite, but there are many not so popular that I saved in my tiny bookmark list!

Physics: http://www.asimmetrie.it - http://www.smartfish.ch

Cyberpunk: https://www.neondystopia.com

Computing: https://calomel.org - https://www.michaelwlucas.com

I particularly enjoyed the clever presentation of the concept design @[http://www.smartfish.ch/file/SmartFish_Design_10.wmv] and the total overwhelming hilarity of Michael @[https://www.michaelwlucas.com/autobiography/the-porn-star].

Ah, my link was bad, the useful part is bookmarking something like this: http://localtimes.info/difference/?lcid=GMXX0087,USCA0987,US...

Sorry, the content might be good, but my first reaction was that's an awful looking site for a design-focused blog.

I read it with an RSS reader (feedly.com) so I'm actually almost never there.

http://www.metafilter.com a discussion site that charges a one time fee for accounts and has paid moderators. Works brilliantly, except that they deserve more money.
