Incoherent Babble

I subscribe to what I would consider quite a few blogs (78 in fact, according to NetNewsWire). While I can quickly get bogged down in the amount of information coming in every day (for example, if I took a few days off reading blogs to get other things done), there are a lot of similar times (like now) when I look at my reader over and over and wonder ‘where’s the news?’.

So, loyal readers, what blogs do you read? I’m looking for techy-related ones. Maybe some PHP, MySQL, Javascript, etc. related ones. Systems Administration, web hosting, that kind of stuff. You know all the crap I talk about here? That’s the stuff I like to read too. I usually don’t get into personal blogs unless they’re outrageously funny or I have some kind of personal connection with the people writing them.

I also don’t generally like reading the biggie blogs, particularly the tech-related ones. Let’s face it, Engadget and the like all have a lot of material every day, and most of it is crap or totally uninteresting to me. Anything really worth a read will get pegged on Digg within a few hours, and I’ll read it there (along with a couple thousand other visitors). It’s just not worth wading through all the noise, when others can do that for me more effectively (think along the lines of ‘Greatest Hits’ albums).

Any recommendations, ladies and gents?
