Hi Rob

My more mainstream techie ones are:
- http://joel.reddit.com/ (articles recommended by lots of people. some boring 
stuff, some _really_ interesting, like the blat about functional programming)

- http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html (essays: not often updated, but 
thought provoking when they are)

- http://www.pbs.org/cringely/archive/ (an old iconoclast: feeds my 
conspiracy-theory bug)
-
http://www.useit.com/alertbox/ (useability is a pet enthusiasm)


And then when it all gets too much:
- http://www.sailinganarchy.com/

- http://www.americascup.com/en/ (go Team New Zealand!)
