The blogs I actually keep up with — some for twenty years now, some found last month. A few write about the work I do; most do not, which is rather the point.

- Kevin Kelly — The Technium; long-horizon thinking about technology and where it is taking us.
- Tim Ferriss — Interviews and self-experiments on how people who are good at things actually work.
- Paul Graham — Essays on startups, writing and thinking clearly. Still the standard.
- The Marginalian — Maria Popova on literature, science and the examined life.
- Farnam Street — Shane Parrish on mental models and better decisions; also The Knowledge Project podcast.
