About three years ago, I shared 37 data-ish blogs you should know about, but a lot has changed since then. Some blogs are no longer in commission, and lots of new blogs have sprung up (and died).

Today, I went through my feed reader again, and here’s what came up. Coincidentally, 37 blogs came up again. (Update: added two I forgot, so 39 now.) I’m subscribed to a lot more than this since I don’t unsubscribe to dried up feeds. But this list is restricted to blogs that have updated in the past two months and are at least four months old.
