Can't say I've looked systematically and have been more interested in
technology blogs that do not confine their attention to computer-related
subjects but have found a few of interest, though the witty ones are very
few and far between.
Oh Purleese (http://www.ohpurleese.com/) is one exception to that last rule,
a witty commentary on all sorts of odd scientific claims - most recently the
claim from an ESRC-funded psychologist at Birmingham U. that kids weaned on
rusks develop a taste for beige foods like crisps, chips etc. ('If you were
thinking of trying to fool your two-year-old into thinking that a brussel
sprout is an exotic form of chocolate biscuit – forget it.')
There's the rather evangelical Howard Lovy's Nanobot
(http://nanobot.blogspot.com/) on nanotechnology; RealClimate
(http://www.realclimate.org), by a group of climate scientists who say they
are dismayed at a lot of the coverage of climate science in the media and
want to put things right but don't want to stray from the strictly
scientific; and Roland Piquepaille's Technology Trends
(http://www.primidi.com/).
