Blogs?

[danaeris]

Where do you go for your science and tech related news (other than places like cnet, nbc, or wired news)? What blogs do you read? Believe it or not, some of the best story ideas come off of blogs because a lot of blogs don't have much exposure. I'm trying to get more places I can read about science and tech news so I have more material when I brainstorm.

Currently I do most of my reading at gizmodo.com and scienceblog.com, but I'm sure there's lots of other nifty stuff out there...

Occasionally there are some decent sci/tech links and discussions over at mefi (http://www.metafilter.com/)...

But it's more of a grab bag of subject matter :)

I like http://www.scitechdaily.com/.

I like slashdot.org
Not really a blog per se but I think it's good.
You probably already know about it though.

Ethan's Africa blog

[cos]

This isn't a tech blog, but http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/ethan/ is my friend Ethan's Africa-focused blog. Ethan founded and runs an organization called GeekCorps which places techies in volunteer positions in developing countries, and works with NGOs, USAID, and the like, to help with the tech aspects of development. It's like the computer geek version of Peace Corps. Africa is Ethan's passion, and Ethan is brilliant, incredible, and spends lots of his time travelling around places like Africa and Central Asia. Occasionally you will find some nice leads in his blog to third world tech stories that others may be missing.
