For adding some refreshing technical depth to your blog reading, I can recommend
Fabulous Adventures In C#, Eric Lippert's fine weblog. I have found quite a number of his posts and articles engaging and inspiring. It's nice to see someone in the blogosphere who is not afraid to use words like "idempotence" and who is not embarrassed to actually sprinkle a little mathematics into a post ostensibly targeted at programmers.
While software developers sometimes like to pretend that math is irellevant and uncool, it really does reside at the very heart of what we do. Many users would get much better systems from us if we spent a little time thinking about the mathematics of their domain problems. They would *certainly* get better systems if we paid more attention to mathematical best practices and basic computer science principles as we architect, design, and build their applications.
Kudos, Eric, for your blogging bravery!
