A few of mine:

- https://www.windytan.com/ (windytan: signal processing)

- https://www.righto.com/ (Ken Sheriff: IC reverse engineering, vintage computing, misc)

- https://jvns.ca/ (Julie Evans: software development, particularly networking)

And even though it's not a written blog, a special mention goes to Ben Eater's website, which links to his fantastic YouTube series on building an 8-bit CPU from logic chips, and on building a 6502 computer.
