What types of sites do you visit, on a regular basis, to stay current on information security issues? Some examples from my list include:

As well as following the security heavyweights on twitter.

I'm curious to hear what resources you recommend for daily monitoring. Anything specific to particular operating systems or other software. Are mailing lists still considered valuable.

My goal would be to trim the cruft of all the things I'm currently subscribed to and focus on the essentials.

I find that a lot of the mailing lists at seclists.org have a lot of good information on security news, software vulnerabilities, and general security questions.

**EDIT:**You may also want to check out this .opml file. It's a list of blogs and RSS feeds that Paul Asadoorian of PaulDotCom fame subscribes to. There quite a few feeds in there ranging on all sorts of topics from hacking to information security.
