Blogs
It seems that the current students aren’t in to blogging stuff they find as much as we were. Â Or is it that they don’t know where to find this stuff? Anyway, I’m starting my own blog and Rahul’s got one and a few other former students. So, we won’t be posting here so much I guess. Share your knowledge, it’s really the only way we learn! If you don’t know where to find new stuff, get a RSS reader (Firefox users can get Sage, it’s really good) or sign up to Bloglines, which is really good as well. And start adding newsfeeds.
My (very long) list after the break.
A Nice Gesture Stories of gesture and sign language, HCI, perception and robots
Architectradure Cati Vaucelle blogs mostly about MIT stuff with a feminine touch
augmented.org All things Augmented Reality can be found here
baekdal.com Highly recommended. One of the best Interaction Design webzines
Beyond the Beyond Bruce Sterling complains about the state of interactions and experiences. Highly recommended
Boing Boing One of the most famous webzines. Sometimes IxD / UX related stuff
Create Digital Motion has a lot of VJ/Processing/animation stuff. Sister blog Create Digital Music both of them have a lot of IxD stuff. Recommended
Creative Applications has a lot of iPhone stuff, but interesting stuff as well (mostly software). Recommended
Doors of Perception John Thackara blogs about stuff. Recommended
Engadget and Gizmodo both have a lot of gadgets, displays and other stuff. Either one is recommended
Futurismic looks in to the near future interactions and experiences
grinding.be this is probably where most of my posts have come from. If you are gonna be reading just one blog, this might be the one
Hack a Day interesting stuff mostly microcontrollers or synths or whatever. Highly recommended
Near Future Laboratory and Pasta&Vinegar Nicholas Nova & Julian Bleecker post stuff on two blogs. Sometimes interesting stuff. Behaviour models etc.

Infosthetics all things visual information design
Spatial Robots also new. Similiar to grinding or this blog
Fashioning Technology if you fashion and interaction design, this is where you find it. Recommended
Next Nature Very Highly Recommended. It’s about the nature we humans have created and experiences we encounter in it.
We make money not art Super-interesting stuff not all related to IxD but still recommended.
..and last but definitely not least Metafilter where a community finds the most interesting stuff and posts it. A bit difficult to read at first, but well worth it.
There are many, many more, but that’s a very good start. I’ll post more if need be. Also, I’m interested to read your list
