I am extremely jealous of professional bloggers. I honestly tried making a living from writing everyday about random greasemonkey scripts and firefox extensions, and calling it news and tips. It involves a lot of patience, creativity, and one hell of an internet connection.
But still, being a smelly, impatient engineer, all I can do is analyze. From my humble rss reader, I did a quick study, and sorted items into categories. News feeds, aggregators(like digg and reddit), etc are not supported. These are only blogs, by relatively famous people I don’t know personally.
Tech news:
Apart from the apple flavoured shit that’s been floating around nowadays(see below category), this includes stuff like “shitty little webapp that helps you preserve and categorize your skidmarks now supports regular stains”
And yes, all of them have a [via] or a [source] at the end
iphone biyatch:
The kind of interest most males develop when they see a “spot” after it, apple fan’s develop when they see a “3″ before it. It’s also a coloquial name for a coloquial name for marijuana. If you know what I’m talking about, you’re too smart to be reading this.
Actually interesting:
People who make ocasional posts(remember this point, it’ll come in later), usually on a single topic on which they have real expertise in. (ex: robert’s talk)
Top n’ lists: This deserves trashing in a seperate post of it’s own, and it’s coming soon.
More webapps: This too deserves an exclusive post of it’s own.
Read this story: Links to one of the above.
“Tech tips”: How to make twitter create facebook accounts for all your skidmarks, add them to your friendfeed, and automatically digg them and upload videos of them so the whole world can see it.
bullshit
Now I know I’m pissing a lot of people off with this, but here are few things you have to consider.
And if you feel like disagreeing with what I said, please point me to a weblog on the comments which has 1 post/author/day (minimum) and, out of the last twenty posts, eight should be useful, original and creative.

That’s your perspective. Interesting. It depends on what you consider important and what you don’t.
Daring Fireball is a great blog, but whether you think the information or links to information posted are important are not depends on who and what kind of person you are.
>> It’s also a coloquial name for a coloquial name for marijuana.
Heh true to the word. :D.
