http://atomized.org –
"A few weeks ago, I was talking to some people about the nerdy things I work on, and the nerdy things I like.

http://mclovindoesruby.wordpress.com –
"...Daniel Fischer’s blog post did quite a bit to pique my curiosity and upon return from my holiday, I bought and watched the awesome Emacs peepcode as well. I’ve been trying to use Emacs continuously for the last couple of days (including at work) and even though I am still stumbling my way a little through the darkness, I am awed by how much power it has..."

navigating through source code using tags
http://emacs-fu.blogspot.com –
"I was always amazed by the way emacs gurus navigated through source code. It almost seemed like magic. They see some function call, and then with some short keyboard combo jump to another file, on the exact place where the function was defined. The 'magic' in this case is a tag file..."

New Year’s Resolutions: Hacker Style
http://bytebaker.com –
"It’s that time of the year again, when you take a look at your life, decide what parts of it suck and then make a proclamation of change. Sure most resolutions don’t work out and resolutions probably aren’t the best way to make a lasting change in your life anyway.
