There are some interesting blogs to follow though... Terry Tao's, and Scott Aaronson's are two examples: they can be very technical, but when they are more focused in the general public, they are great.

John Baez's stuff, and Overcoming Bias is also good.
I'm dying for non-technical science writing. I want to know what those guys are thinking, not read a popular write up.
They're usually good, even when it's outside their field.

Yes, I follow these too. Others are: The Unapologetic Mathematician, The Reference Frame (if you can filter the hating), Symmetry Breaking, Gowers's Weblog, Plus Magazine (sometimes), Not Even Wrong, Cosmic Variance, Backreaction... also some Arxiv rss's.

Cool, you're welcome! Uncertain Principles is cool too; from all these, go through the links and you'll probably find a few more.

Your submissions are high quality and technical, the way I like them. I would ask you to continue to submit from your sources, especially since the stories about what googlers eat for breakfast are getting old....
