I am assembling a list of interesting blogs to read and for that purpose I'd love to see the kind of blog the people in this community recommend as a starting point. Don't see this just as a request to post blogs according to my unknown taste but as a request to post blogs according to your taste in the hope that the recommendation scratches an itch in this community.

I don't really read many blogs frequently. The one sort-of-bloggish site I visit daily is 3 Quarks Daily. They link to a number of interesting articles every day, and their taste in topics coincides quite nicely with mine.
