Blogging with anticipation
Like most bloggers with a technical bent, I use a blog aggregator to alert me to new posts on those blogs I subscribe to.
As the list grows, I find – perhaps not surprisingly – that seeing some of the entries highlighted, “1 new post”, is more exhilarating than others.
“Excellent”, I think, “a new entry by Dunstan – I can’t wait to read it.”
On the other hand, there are some blogs – even quite big hitters – that, while I am obviously still interested enough to subscribe to, just do not do it for me as often as I would like. Whether it’s posting frequency, low signal-noise ratio (from the point of view of what I would like to read about), or something else, I don’t know.
My favourites? Airbag, Dunstan’s Blog, Stuff and Nonsense, Authentic Boredom, sidesh0w and Whitespace. There’s just something about the quality of writing, and even more than that the character of the author shining through, that gives them the edge.
Which blogs do you look forward to being updated the most?

These are the absolute “must reads” for me. - #3
At the moment one of my favourite blogs is Root’s “at the 404” mostly, I think, because we’re on roughly the same level technically and he does have a habit of courting controversy. Gets quite heated at times!
