Jonathan's Space Report (http://www.planet4589.org/jsr.html) is an exhaustive accounting of human activity in space (manned or unmanned), with a focus on recent launches. Released every few weeks. Back issues run to 1989 and continue to the present day.

Emily Lakdawalla writes some very good explanations of space science for the Planetary Society - very accessible, but with more detail and intelligence (IMHO) than you get from other media outlets. http://www.planetary.org/blogs/emily-lakdawalla/

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.

Except when I am offline for a minute, then I have to do some digging. Are you aware of this news.ycombinator.com/best though? I find it helpful

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 Arch Linux: https://planet.archlinux.org/

I try to keep my subscription to an absolute minimum since I like to leave some time for reading books. After a lot of culling, I'm currently subscribed to some popular feeds: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/ (general web design / dev) http://www.alistapart.com/ (long form web design / front-end) http://dailyjs.com/ (Javascript / node.js) http://createdigitalmusic.com/ (digital music / software) http://www.creativeap…

"I try to keep my subscription to an absolute minimum" says the guy who provided the single longest list.

Many truly interesting technical posts never make it to the front page. Instead it's mostly self-help/anti-procrastination garbage, reviews of the latest tablets and posts about how shitty U.s. math education is.
