Are you reading Web Worker Daily? Take a look if you are not. This blog, mostly written by Anne Truitt Zelenka until about a week ago, has been handed over to a couple of new editors in the past week. One is Judi Sohn from A View from Home and the other is Mike Gunderloy from Larkware.

There are consistently great articles at Web Worker Daily. Just a couple of recent examples: Yet Another Reason to Build a Case for Telecommuting, and Ten (More) Tips on Doing Productive Web Work with Kids in the House.

There are many good articles about helpful software, helpful tools, ways to make you work faster, easier, and more efficient, and just ways to manage being at home with the kids. As for working with kids in the house, the number one tip is Wake Up Early.

Wake up early. I’ve trained myself to get up at 4:30 a.m. most days (sometimes I sleep in until 5:30 or 6:00 a.m.). Now, I’m not saying you have to get up that early, but getting up even half an hour or an hour earlier than the younguns can give you some time to do some uninterrupted work in the quiet of the predawn hours.

In a previous article on working at home with kids, Web Worker Daily said,

Make it their office too: It may be your office, but if the kids are going to wander in, you’d better have something handy for them to do. Keep a toybox in one corner and let them stash some of their toys there, and encourage them to play quietly while you work (assuming that you’re not one of those people who needs absolute silence to stay productive). If you don’t do this, you’ll soon discover that everything is a toy to a four-year-old, including your coffee cup, PDA, keyboard, and telephone.

A fairly new tech blog that may become a favorite on the topic of mobiles is Mobile Jones. In its first two months on the planet this blog has published articles about the cost of SMS messages and Mobile Web–Just Say No, in which the author argues,

The label “mobile web” creates cognitive dissonance and confusion in the marketplace. Is there a separate web? The real answer should be no, and in fact, as one observes the growth and evolution of mobile data services in the US what strikes the chord of recognition and apparently adoption are those services familiar from our web experience which add a mobile specific UI and uniquely mobile VAS (value added service) to existing behaviors.

Technology in Teaching has an emphasis on women in technology and on physics. The two topics seem to brew up an interesting mix of comments on teaching and news about teaching. Here's a tip about learning a new Google search trick from the blog.

If you want to specifically look for blogs on a topic, you can get a list, from the most recently posted to the oldest, by choosing your search term, then clicking the MORE tab above that. The term to look for is Blog Search. That way, you avoid non-blogs and commercial sites.

Technology in Teaching has been around for a while, too, even though I just found it. If you teach in North Carolina or teach physics, you'll want to explore the archives a bit.
