[edit] What's in the planet

A quick introduction to what's in the planet now:

[edit] Blogs to watch

Some blogs were considered for inclusion in the planet but currently don't fit, for example because they

  • mix few high quality posts with a lot of low quality posts
  • license their works under licenses that exclude commercial use or derivative works
  • have no RSS or Atom feed
  • only contain industry/sales news, with no attempts at enlightenment or sharing knowledge

You may still find them interesting so they are listed here.

  • Adafruit, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits
  • Arduino, open-source electronics prototyping platform
  • Beetlebum.de, fun technology cartoon
  • Chipworks, Technolog Blog - Technical Competitive Analysis (proprietary license)
