There are some great blogs out there for programmers (Joel on Software, Paul Graham's Essays, etc.). I would love to know about any similar quality content for electronics. Do you have any great blogs or podcasts you love?

Electronics Engineering Video Blog Podcast(eevblog)

Be aware that David swears in many of his video blogs, so it may not be suitable for children, or even at work (without headphones). – Adam Davis Jan 4 at 18:35

There are lots of blogs that people use to talk about their own projects. They may not be "general education" but you wil certainly learn something. Some of my favorites:

This one is more engineering oriented - http://www.eevblog.com/

I'm surprised that nobody mentioned The Fat Man and Circuit Girl: http://www.fatmanandcircuitgirl.com/

I'd say it's more along the lines of Joel on Software, where they're really sharing a lot of information on things they've tried and how it's worked out, but the community goes above and beyond. It's a very entertaining and educational group.

Jack Ganssle's column on embedded.com - and indeed, embedded.com itself.

Also, the collection of articles on his website.

Admittedly these are mostly (though not entirely) software-oriented - but specifically embedded software.

A lovely little ham radio podcast that I've been listening to for years. I'm not a ham radio guy at all, so there's plenty of interest to the general technologist here.

Fireflies! Wow! I think I'm going to need a large number of chips and an equal number of ping-pong balls. (If you don't know what I'm talking about follow the link and look at the videos of synchronising 64 Fireflies) – Amos Dec 10 at 20:47
Yeah, some kind lately soldered up 64 of them. Don't know if he is already finished ;) – Interactive Matter Dec 12 at 14:27

I feel a little self-serving by adding this one, but I write it and I do try to mostly put in useful information without too much commercial type content. http://blog.screamingcircuits.com. It's predominantly about how to avoid common design and layout things that trip a lot of people up when they get to the point of building a board.

I have collected many blogs about electronics over the three years and I have made an aggregated list of RSS feeds available through Google Reader. Most of the blogs in this list are already mentioned here here but you might encounter some less familiar ones. I have also linked this feed to a twitter account.

Brilliant, thanks for this, I've just Bookmarked it. – Amos Jan 24 at 20:22
