Let's start off with some essential weblog links:
Patrick Neilsen Hayden's Weblog
PNH is who I want to be when I grow up. He's a senior editor
at TOR, and a wise man.

Neil Gaiman's Blog is pretty much the coolest thing
ever for people like me, who are fans of The Neil.

Schism Matrix is where Bruce Sterling posts links daily.
I mean, he's Bruce fuckin' Sterling!
