.NET: Meh
James is right: I'm not very interested in proprietary platforms. The funny thing about .NET is that I can ignore it, mock it, invest nothing in it, knowing that when I absolutely have to, I can turn on a dime and be very productive on it thanks to IronPython. Hopefully, ElementTree and the Python Imaging Library will be ported before that day comes.
I'm also not big on "team" blogs. I blog because I like to write and have something to say. Looking through my list, I'm not currently subscribing to any other kind of blog.
