I agree Daring Fireball is outstanding.
Now if he could just clear up that five month backlog of t-shirts.

definitely gotta add http://toothpastefordinner.com
and I won’t feel TOO bad about self-promoting http://twonewthings.com , since it’s similar enough in spirit to xkcd… doesn’t quite approach his level, but kinda cute

Joe and Monkey.
http://www.joeandmonkey.com
usually not as political as it is right now.

Ars Technica and it’s ordinary journals and staff journals. The main site is sort of like a technical newspaper with journalistic reporting on the world of technology and computing. Infinite loop, their Apple blog, is a bit less serious, but a good source of news about the Mac world, and FatBits is John “Hannibal” Siracusa’s highly insightful writing.
Oh, and not to mention Amit Singh’s kernelthread and osxbook.com. Very insightful indeed…

Thank goodness I’m not the only one with Cute Overload in my newsreader.
If you like xkcd you’ll probably like http://www.qwantz.com/. xkcd’s profane computational linguistics badge may have been inspired by Qwantz’s author, who studied computational linguistics at university. Or it may not.

And Ars Technica proper, of course: http://arstechnica.com

I know I’m a month late reading this post (and I hope someone will reply), but I saw the the buildbot page and saw that it was really nicely styled
Other buildbot pages are let’s say… less elegant, but hey, they don’t relate to apple, do they?
So I was curious, how did you guys customize this? (I haven’t used buildbot but your usage looks nice)
December 4th, 2006 at 3:04 pm
It’s all about the CSS — http://build.webkit.org/buildbot.css is the CSS that provides build.webkit.org’s look, and it ties in to a Buildbot system that has been tweaked slightly to generate easier-to-style HTML markup.
