Where are the History of Technology blogs?

Category: Knoxville '82: Where Miscellany Thrive
Posted on: August 8, 2008 10:00 AM, by Benjamin Cohen

After the little round of history of science talk earlier this week (this one from me; this one from Dave; this one from John Lynch) I was talking to a colleague about comparable history of technology blogs -- blogs that take the subject of studying and discussing the history of technology as their premise. That is, I *don't* mean the great many blogs that talk about technologies that existed before this moment in time (the one I like most being that Paleofuture blog linked over there on the side of this page). I mean one that, as with the history of science blogs, actually delve into the subject matter.

Can anyone help here? Are there historians of technology blogging about their work and research? I see the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT) has a "web log," but it's only informational. I also see that noted historian of technology David Nye has one too, After the American Century, but it appears to be about politics and culture. Scienceblogs added the "technology" category when it reworked the channels a little while back, but I don't think there are any actual historians of technology here.
