Scott Stevenson over at Cocoa Dev Central<\/a> picked up on a couple good new blogs, which he’s included in his front-page summary of “Cocoa + Mac Blogs”:<\/p>\n

\nCocoa Samurai<\/a> – Colin Wheeler is adopting an educational approach that I really appreciate. The more “Tutorials” the better, as far as I’m concerned. His article on Doxygen<\/a> looks like it’s worth reviewing.\n<\/p>\n

\nLosing Fight<\/a> – Andy Finnell seems perplexed by his inclusion, claiming that he’s hardly writing about Cocoa at all. But the front page of his blog is littered with Core Data references, so I guess he might just be pertinent in spite of himself!\n<\/p>\n

\nI’ve also noticed a few recent additions that are worth keeping an eye on:\n<\/p>\n

\nLap Cat Software<\/a> – Jeff Johnson is one of the developers of the Vienna<\/a> open source newsreader, who recently took the plunge into blogging. He’s on the right track with his detailed analysis of getting NSTableView to do the right thing<\/a> in response to single vs. double clicks.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\nMacMojo<\/a> – The official “multi-blog” of Microsoft Office Mac team. This is an example of Microsoft kicking Apple’s butt in terms of public exposure. I’m not suggesting this blog will be a completely transparent view of the inner workings of the Office team. There’s bound to be some self-censorship, at the very least. But they have a blog<\/em>, and that’s a bold step. Where’s the Core Data Blog? The QuickTime blog, etc? Apple employees who blog do so outside the umbrella of their workplace, in a disjointed fashion and always carefully “not speaking for my employer.” All that effort is squandered, when it could be building Apple’s reputation as being engaged in the public discourse.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Masked Blogger<\/a> – speaking of Apple’s idiotic blog-stifling policies, this blogger decided to glorify the circumstances surrounding his or her anonymity. Not really sure what the gist of the content is – it seems to be specifically about the need to be masked, which could turn interesting. Judging from the Sainsbury’s references (perplexingly misspelled in the blog), I’m guessing the Masked Blogger works for Apple UK.\n<\/p>\n

Erik Schwiebert<\/a> and David Weiss<\/a> – Two Microsoft bloggers who demonstrate that there’s room for both corporate and private blogging. These men contribute to the aforementioned Mac Mojo blog while still running their own private blogs outside the company. Notably – they are not secretive<\/em> about their association with Microsoft, event from their private blogs.\n<\/p>\n

\nGoogle Mac Blog<\/a> – Add this to the list of “cooler than Apple” corporate blogging entities. Well, they haven’t really posted much here, yet. But the mechanism is in place for Google’s Mac proponents to communicate with their public. Go, Google!\n<\/p>\n

\nI try to stay up to date with new Mac bloggers, but you know how it goes: it’s easy to miss out on things. So I’m sure there are some other recent developments that have slipped past my radar.
