Day 9 - List some of your favorite bloggers

Hmmm...I'm not too hip on the ol' blogosphere, so I'll take a very liberal definition of "blogger" to include...well, essentially any website with an RSS feed :-). This includes podcasts, etc. So...here we go.

• Being Rubbish at This Thing Called Life by Laura Day - this is a given! She's my favorite blogger...though she could update once or twice <coughcoughcough>!!
• Joel on Software by Joel Spasky - Joel on Software. Kinda a must for any software engineer. I find myself being directed to his posts so often (and reading his thoroughly entertaining Mercurial tutorial--which, by the way, completely converted me from my old-fashioned SVN tastes) that I figure I should include him here. His insights on software management and design are entertaining and very accurate.
• Pharyngula by PZ Myers - A very interesting science blog by PZ Myers, a biology professor. He writes not only on science, but primarily on critical thinking and fighting pseudoscientific thought. Living in the deep South, his skeptical perspective can be a refresher.

I'll also include some podcasts I quite enjoy:

• Stuff You Should Know - SYSK is one of my favorites. Each podcast--usually 20-40 minutes long--educates about a specific topic. The hosts, Chuck and Josh, present the show in a very accessible format, discussing the topic with a lot of humor and making me laugh.
• This American Life - A fantastic podcast/radio show presenting stories from all walks of life. One of the more intellectually stimulating radio programs on the air.
• Smodcast - The creation of director Kevin Smith and producer Scott Mosier (you've probably heard of Clerks), this podcast is...hrm. I find it hilarious. It's just about the opposite of This American Life...the jokes are base, but oh so funny.
• Radiolab - Radiolab is quite similar to TAL but more...I don't know. Arty? It uses some fantastic sound design--if listening to this podcast, make sure you have surround speakers (e.g. in a car or awesome stereo system) or headphones.

That's about all I can think of for this one...subscribe and read 'em!
