There must be some good engineering-related blogs going on

Blogs were, I suppose, the biggest thing on the internet in 2005, with millions of people worldwide taking the opportunity to publish their thoughts to the world. Or more likely, to their Mums. To read much of the discussion on the trend, you'd think that nobody had ever written diaries, opinion pieces or whatever online before the blogging services made it so much easier.

One thing blogging has done, however, has enabled some very interesting writers to emerge. Few engineers consider themselves to be good writers, but as a magazine editor for many years, I was always amazed at how often I got into a discussion with interesting engineers, asked them if they'd write down what they'd just been telling me, and got a really good article as a result. Now, nobody needs to meet people like me in order to publish their thoughts - they just get online and do it, with services such as Blogger or TypePad.

Some of the best blogs are ones which people write anonymously about their day-to-day working experiences. PC Copperfield's "The Policeman's Blog" is one, "Random Acts Of Reality" by a member of the London Ambulance Service is another. Both have rightly received wide publicity and are great to follow. But there must be some good engineering-related ones going on - I just need to find them. Pointers please!

Perhaps we should start an Engineeringtalk blog, where readers can get anything they like off their chests. Engineering-related, of course. Any interest?
