Coding, Security, and Other Blogs/ Sites

[while1]

For me, I absolutely hate trying to find new blogs to subscribe to just because of the sheer number of blogs out there.  It's finding quality and interesting ones that teach me something or give invaluable insight that is often daunting for me.  I seem to normally stumble upon blogs that I end up subscribing to/ regularly checking if someone links me to a notably interesting/ entertaining/ informational blog post (i.e. I didn't start reading Coding Horror until someone linked it in a post here).  Or a blog post is linked to from a news site/ community that I regularly check.  For example, I came across an interesting blog post today by a former Blizzard developer, Patrick Wyatt, when it was posted on Slashdot (definitely a good read, it's the first of a three part series, I definitely look forward to reading the next two parts).

This got me thinking, what blogs everyone here subscribes to/ regularly reads, including any sites like Slashdot?

I think the reason I've been reading Slashdot for all these years is because the moderators generally do a good job of aggregating news and things that I find interesting and care about/ want to read... plus the comments can often be extremely insightful, informational, and funny.

I try to follow smart people on twitter and just click on stuff they link.  I kind of stopped using RSS managers and all that sort of stuff a while ago.

Thanks for linking that Starcraft blog, though, it's a great read so fat.  :)

My RSS feeds:

And I have some google news sections set up for local & tech.

Wyatt also has 2 articles on creating Warcraft as well, in which he describes the original intent of the *craft games, which were all supposed to be part of the same universe (Warcraft: pre technology, (Other)craft games, Starcraft: space technology).  Very good.
