Subscribed blogs
A while back a friend asked me what blogs I follow on a regular basis to keep up with the IT world and professional life in general. I promised to post a list here. I have removed blogs I follow purely for personal reasons. Not all of these may still work.
Are there any I should take a peek at? Please leave a comment, and eventually I may approve it if it doesn’t get buried in the comment spam…
Security Stuff
- bugtraq @ insecure.org http://www.djeaux.com/rss/insecure-bugtraq.rss Good to skim for early warning of vulnerabilities you may see later.
- Cisco Security Advisories http://newsroom.cisco.com/data/syndication/rss2/SecurityAdvisories_20.xml
- Cisco Security Notices http://newsroom.cisco.com/data/syndication/rss2/SecurityNotices_20.xml
- Dark Reading: Dark Reading News From Other CMP Sites http://www.darkreading.com/rss_simple.asp?f_s=318&f_ln=Dark+Reading+News+From+Other+CMP+Sites
- Dark Reading: Dark Reading News Feed http://www.darkreading.com/rss_simple.asp?f_s=297&f_ln=Dark+Reading+News+Feed Strikes me as a trade rag, but I skim it anyway.
- Microsoft Security Bulletins http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/secrss.aspx
- SANS Internet Storm Center http://images.dshield.org/rssfeed.xml These guys often get the straight scoop pretty early, because of the reputation they have earned.
General IT Industry News and Commentary
- Gizmodo http://www.gizmodo.com/index.rdf Gadgets galore.
- Slashdot http://slashdot.org/index.rss Ok, so I’m kind if Old School, but I still check out slashdot.
- RoughlyDrafted Magazine http://www.roughlydrafted.com/feed/ I love the author’s style and the way he intelligently and reasonably tears up the pro-Microsoft media machine and the IT pundit industry.
Web 2.0 and Related Development
- Riding Rails - home http://feeds.feedburner.com/RidingRails
I haven’t really paid much attention to the next three in a while, but I haven’t removed them, either:
- Web 2.0 Blog http://feeds.feedburner.com/Web20Blog
- http://ww.xml-dev.com/blog/blogrss.php http://ww.xml-dev.com/blog/blogrss.php
- Sphere of Influence Blogs http://www.sphereofinfluence.com/blogs/rssmerge/fullrss.aspx
Personal Development
- Matt’s Idea Blog http://ideamatt.blogspot.com/atom.xml Matt does a great job of synthesizing a lot of the other books out there, and makes some great reading recommendations.
- Steve Pavlina’s Personal Development Blog http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/feed/ Steve’s generally a bit New-Agey for me, but he does have good ideas in there that I have found useful from time to time.
And because I’ve come to realize I can’t get by on tech skillz alone:
- Men.Style.com Daily News http://men.style.com/services/rss/feeds/daily_news.xml
- Men.Style.com: Latest Features and Articles http://men.style.com/services/rss/feeds/mens_features.xml
