#62I 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…
Ribbonfarm is truly top-notch, one of my absolute favorites as well.
I also like http://lesswrong.com/ but I think its pretty well known.

keeps me in touch with Alan Kay-esque thinking
Heck, keep in touch with Alan Kay and his minions: vpri.org/writings/

#64https://cooperpress.com/ It's not a blog, but a collection of weekly email newsletters. At the risk of sounding like a shill (because I'm pretty sure Mr Cooper posts to HN), I have to say these are each brilliantly done. There are separate newsletters for JavaScript, Ruby, HTML5, and Dart (but sadly no Python). Great way to keep up with changes in these areas once a week, and pretty much the only third-party emails I…
I do! :-) Thanks for the mention, you would be a great shill to hire if I were looking.
With regards to Python, I believe http://www.pythonweekly.com/ was inspired by my newsletters. I don't run it but have seen a few issues. There is also http://pycoders.com/ and I know those guys too. Both have a similar structure and approach to mine. Hopefully I can buy/partner with one of them someday rather than launch my own ;-)

While I've found some nice ideas on Less Wrong, articles like this recent one: http://lesswrong.com/lw/frp/train_philosophers_with_pearl_an... go to show the tunnel vision of the "Rationalists" that haunt that part of the internet.
I think of Venkat Rao as a combination of that sort of scientific rationalism with the sort of old-school intellectualism that can only come from reading an epic quantity of literature and taking a truly skeptical attitude toward everything. Keeps the fanaticism in check and results in a much more subtle and interesting point of view.

"I try to keep my subscription to an absolute minimum" says the guy who provided the single longest list.
To be fair, most of those are < 1 post per day, but still you point accurately a major issue of mine which is wanting to stay abreast of too many fields at a time. I hope I will be able to whittle-down my field of focus further in the coming years.

#70Hacker 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
