Eckel on Programmers
Bruce Eckel writes about what makes a programmer. This is one of those "new to me, maybe old to you" finds, but his main point -- that code should be communicative because, ultimately, code is fluid and someone's going to have to adapt what you've done -- is right on. (And as a bonus, he links to a nice article by Bill Venners about interviewing programmers.)

EduBlogging at UW: KidTech
Here's a link to a class blog for a course Phil Bell taught earlier this year on New Technology and Child Development. Although it's dormant now, blogs like this offer a nice perspective into the course, as well as providing a valuable source of articles on kids and technology. It's kind of like a syllabus come to life.
