I find that the weekend coding project can become very good fodder for a blog. http://www.dynamicalsoftware.com/analytics/oss is such an example of some hands on exploration of map reduce and is currently my top blog post.
It's been a personal goal of mine this year to blog more and more. The few times where I really put effort into it, I found huge rewards. A simple (but lengthy) article about how to write canvas games ended up being published in the Game Developer Magazine, and I made some money off it. All because the editor saw it, liked it, and emailed me about it.
