Favorite Blogs

I love my Google Reader. I follow quite a few blogs and there's no way I would be able to keep track of them all (and stay sane) without it. I thought I'd share some of my favorites today and get you edu-ma-cated.


Computer Blogs:

• Tech Source from Bohol : "Source for technology hacks, insights, tutorials, news, reviews and more" this blog posts a great weekly round up of interestings posts from around the net.

• LWN.net : "Comprehensive coverage of development, legal, commercial and security issues" of the Linux world. Premium content becomes free after a week, but regular content is still good like benchmarks of Con Kolivas' new BFS scheduler.

• Web Upd8 : General computer news with a focus on Linux. Posts include the announcement of a Google Maps based Monopoly game that will span the globe.

Robot Blogs:

• Artificial Intelligence and Robotics : While it isn't updated regularly, its posts are always interesting. Like this announcement of a pressure sensitive keyboard being developed by Microsoft.

• robots.net : "All the news that's fit to assimilate", including topics like Your Friendly Neighborhood Spiderbot.
  

• BotJunkie :  Obsessively chronicling Man's inevitable descent into cybernetic slavery. One robot at a time. Check out this hilarious (but slightly NSFW for swearing and crude humour) video of the seven robots most likely to rise up against humanity.
  

Science Blogs:

• Discoblog : Discover has a bunch of very good blogs. This one is particularly good at informing you of the latest and greatest discoveries from scientists all over the world. Recently proven: beautiful women really do make men dumber.

• Science Not Fiction : Another from Discover, SnF discusses the science done on things you would think only matter in movies, like how Canadian mathematicians recently modeled a zombie outbreak

• NCBI ROFL : A blog about the strange things some people get away with researching, like an experimental study on the effect of garlic on vampires. (Warning: topics may involve human sexuality and potty humour)

Random Blogs:

• Lifehacker : A great source of information on life with a focus on technology, sharing such vital information as these Top 10 MacGuyverisms

• Geekology : Humorous blog about pop culture, technology and geeks. The author's sarcastic take on any and every topic is incredibly entertaining; check out this post about a woman fired for using caps in a company email.

• xkcd.com : IMO the greatest web comic ever. Very, very geeky humor, sometimes so much so that even I don't understand it. On those days I learn something new, which really is even better than understanding the joke right off the bat. Check out this strip about internet love.
