Just reading this title and with only microsoft.com as the URL, I knew with 99% certainty this was going to be oldnewthing (Raymond Chen)

Good point. I see his current domain is "devblogs.microsoft.com". A few times I have seen @dang (or a teammate?) upgrade the HN software to show more URL details on the homepage. It would be nice to do the same for this one. A good example is fortune.com. Their blogs are utter rubbish, and their URLs now appear on the front page as something like "fortune.com/blogs" instead of just "fortune.com" (reserved for actual articles from the magazine).

I do enjoy his quirky little comments. Nothing ground breaking, but pretty much guaranteed to make me go :Huh! Never knew that"

Definitely one of the top blogs on that website. I wish win32 function articles would link references in blog posts, his explanations and examples helped me out a lot. Larry Osterman was another good blogger when he was still active.
