And what's somewhat disappointing is that Artima only allows one blog 
per person per category, so it was a choice between ruby-doc and 
rubyxml.  Assorted demands have been keeping me from contributing much 
to either, but rubyxml has been suffering some code issues (rewriting 
the back-end code is one of those assorted demands on my time) so I 
opted for ruby-doc.org.

But by all means anybody with a Ruby-related web log should hook up an 
Artima account and list a blog.

(Dave Thomas has his blog listed under "Design Buzz"; Artima itself 
hosts a number of worthwhile blogs from the likes of Robert C. Martin 
and Ward Cunningham: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/index.jsp
It's also featured a multipart interview with Dave and /\ndy.)
