I posted a bunch in the Links area on here. I try to keep up with sites relevant to the Central Texas tech community. If you have any to add, post a comment on that page.

Ok let's change the focus of this topic to a *discussion* of the local blogs that are on the links page. Folks can talk about blogs they like to follow and discuss recent topics seen on these blogs.
I read the http://austinbloggers.org aggregator blog and that leads out to a lot of the major local blogs. Anyone local can join and add their blog to it.
