Steve McConnell needs a weblog
Steve McConnell is one of my heroes. His book, Code Complete, is one of my favorite programming texts–definitely a classic. Guess what? Code Complete 2 is out!

The Blogging Guru without an XML feed
I’ve been spending a lot of time lately cancelling email newsletters and switching to RSS/Atom feeds. A friend of mine referred me to Hugh Hewitt’s website to look for interesting blogs.
