Drew McClellan, who also runs 24 ways, writes about web development, progressive enhancement, site performance, and practical browser bugs.
HN commenters link it for its progressive enhancement posts and for practical tips, such as setting an apple-touch-icon on any site.

Sidenote, seems Chrome has now entered the "pompous Opera phase", wherein Opera users used to always ignore the fact that they're in the vast minority of web browsers and point out every browser problem they have like it's the designer's fault instead of Opera's for their random rendering bugs.
Hmm. None in particular, though you could just look around for some of the older resources on progressive enhancement - that's what it's called, and it used to be a recommended practice everywhere.
There's also this post, that goes into it somewhat: http://allinthehead.com/retro/367/why-is-progressive-enhancement-so-unpopular - also, Brad Frost has some posts about this.
