Blogroll

Besides the daily deluge of mails, my main source of digital reading comes from blogs I follow. There's a whole world of passionate writers spending time to write high quality (and often LLM-free) articles on topics that are close to their hearts, and I greatly enjoy reading such texts. I subscribe to them using plain old RSS, which is a good thing for a number of reasons.

This page shows an overview of all blogs I follow, sorted into some subcategories. There's a high likelyhood this page can be outdated, but it's the thought that counts.

AI

• AI weirdness, for funny and creative AI projects or articles.
• Marcus on AI, a cognitive scientist with a long history of studying AI. Read for refreshing opinions on Silicon Valley.
• Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At, focusing on the impossible economies of genAI
• Pivot to AI, daily summaries of (mostly negative) genAI news
• Random Nonsense, more AI articles.

General Programming

• Computer Things, by Hillel Wayne
• Decyphering Glyph
• Allison Posts
• Danny van Kooten
• Rodolphe Bréard, who writes articles on coding but also shares random deep-dives on things such as batteries, bicycle tyres, and more. (French warning!)

Pedagogy / Psychology

• Felienne, blog by IT educator Felienne Hermans
• Mensenkennis, where psychologists write articles in accessible terms (in Dutch!)
• The Daily Papert, a now largely inactive blog on the works of prof. Seymour Papert
• X, Y of Einstein?, a (Dutch-written) blog by Belgian pedagogical researcher Pedro De Bruyckere, in which he presents the latest research on teaching in an accessible way.

• McSweeney's, a digital newspaper containing mostly satire and tongue-in-cheek articles.
