#126Xah has written a lot of great informative and opinion content on his blog. There is like a decade of posts covering a large span of topics like math, emacs, web dev, etc. This is just one post I bookmarked, but you can link dive wikipedia-style. http://xahlee.info/kbd/keyboard_hardware_and_key_choices.htm...

And sex: http://xahlee.org/sex/all_things_sex.html
His Emacs-specific content is great, but the last thing I want to read are his creepy, gremlin-like takes on relationships and sex.

I'm recently unsubscribed from your RSS feed because your "blog" reads more like a Twitter feed.

I'm not a fan of his Emacs stuff, even. A lot like Ken Rockwell, I've thought - opinionated to and often well beyond a fault, will reliably defend the most recent thought to cross his mind as if it were among the bedrock axioms of his life and soul, it's not that he can't say anything useful but you always want to get a range of other opinions first, and by the time you really know what you're doing you find yourself thinking he's mostly full of it.
At least Ken Rockwell can be relied upon as a quick source of high-res shots of new gear. I already know where to find the Emacs changelog, I'm not sure what purpose that leaves Xah Lee to serve.
