Excellent! I've got it bookmarked. As I'm getting beyond the freshman/sophomore level introductory courses, I'm realizing more and more how important it is to keep up with the current state of the field. I've been meaning to start keeping up with some blogs like this, and this is a very convenient way to do so.

In the Dark,

https://telescoper.wordpress.com/

an eclectic mix of, for example, cosmology, astrophysics, physics, physics education, poetry, jazz, opera, cricket, ..., by Peter Coles, cosmologist, head of the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Sussex, and crossworder extraordinaire.
 
http://condensedconcepts.blogspot.com.au/ is pretty nice as well.
