Anyone care to share their favorite technology blogs?

Currently, I only have two bookmarked. I need more.

Frans of course: http://weblogs.asp.net/fbouma/

And Fowler (not really technical, actually): http://martinfowler.com/bliki/

No disrespect to Frans but I have found Kimberly Tripp's blog to be the best SQL Server resource:

http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/kimberly/

My blog is not that active lately, so I'd look at other blogs as well

Couple of feeds which have a lot of .NET news daily: http://www.enderminh.com/netdev/rss.aspx http://codebetter.com/blogs/MainFeed.aspx http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/WebLog/MainFeed.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/mainfeed.aspx (MS bloggers) http://weblogs.asp.net/MainFeed.aspx?GroupID=4 (non-MS bloggers) http://www.codeproject.com/webservices/articlerss.aspx (new/updated codeproject articles) http://www.lhotka.net/WeBlog/SyndicationService.asmx/GetRss (Rockford Lhotka) http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/rss2.0 (Ian Griffiths (hardcore .NET))

Cool, thanks, I'll check those out. Hopefully more folks will chime in as well.

Can anyone recommend a good RSS reader? I have one for Firefox, but the truth is that I really can't seem to wean myself off of IE.

I've tried them all and RssBandit at the moment is ok, though I use OmeaReader from JetBrains. Both are free if I'm not mistaken and are fast and don't eat a lot of memory.

Personally i like sharpreader, its quick and simple.

Unlike NewsGator which costs and EATS memory (1GB per day)...

Is that that outlook plugin?

1GB a day is extreme! Sharpreader in its early days ate memory a lot as well (~200/300MB) though not as extreme as 1GB... bizarre!.

I use SharpReader, but I think it eats memory...

Yes the outlook plug in... One thing that is great about is that GoogleDesktopSearch inlcudes the blogs stored in Outlook in its search.

Regardinbg the memory, I'm not sure if its got to do with the fact that I have 2 Personal Folders attached to Outlook, each of which is several GB in size. Maybe its Outlook that has the memory leak . Wouldn't that be a suprise.... NOT

Not a huge fan of the JetBrains one, I quite like sharpreader, which doesn't seem to eat memory on my PC...

Anyway, aside from Frans, and all my LLBLGen Forums syndications, some of my favouries:
