Favorite websites?

[dougal]

Other than these forums and hackaday.com, where does everybody like to go for news about new and interesting electronics projects? Preferably, sites that are updated frequently...

I'm part of the E14 Top Members group which get a heads up slightly before the rest.
Having said that the news isn't exactly first.

dangerousprototypes.com - though it hasn't been as interesting or engaging lately - it is still one of the better ones in my opinion - less fluff then most

I like the Adafruit blog. Hack-a-day is a foul place. Stay away from the comments on that one!


I don't really pay much attention to this stuff though - too busy making stuff!!

Bluebie: Have to admit, I don't think I've paid much attention to the comments on Hack-a-day. What's happened there that was bad? And yes, I've been looking at the Adafruit site. Thanks for reminding me.

digistump: I think I had seen the Dangerous Prototypes site before, but had forgotten to bookmark it. Thanks for mentioning that one.
