Over the last several months I have added to the blogs I read and I thought I'd share my favorites and the ones I find the most useful. I'll also share the newsletters and web sites I like.
Blogs:
It Depends - Andy Warren. This is not always a deep technical resource but there is helpful information on Professional Development, Speaking, and SQL Server. I like the fact that he posts often and that his posts are usually fairly short and to the point.
SQL Musings - Steve Jones. Another well rounded blog that has some personal, general professional development and SQL Server content. Again regular posts and not long.
Rock's Thoughts - Chris Rock. More of a .NET blog. I like Chris's writing style which is informal and usually entertaining along with informative. He shares real-world problems and solutions. He hasn't posted as regularly as he was, but when he does post it is worth reading.
Scary DBA - Grant Fritchey. Grant is a guy I have encountered in the forums on SQLServerCentral, and based on the quality of his answers, I started reading his blog.
Bart Duncan's SQL Weblog - Bart Duncan. Good blog on msdn for performance tips.
In Recovery - Paul Randal. If you want to know about SQL Server Storage Engine and recovery techniques, this is the place to go.
SSIS Junkie - Jamie Thomson. A great blog on SSIS.
What do I look for in a blog? Regular posts, real-world problems and solutions, and a variety of topics. I'm not interested in BOL regurgitated and these blogs regularly provide information that I can use in my job.

I'm hurt. ;-) So which requirements does my blog fall short on?
