In my quest for absorbing as much information about Bitcoin as possible I came across this site and was impressed by the width and scope of the Bitcoin articles within. I'm sure other know of this site but I don't know how well it's known by us "newbies" so I just wanted to promote it. Plus, the head writer (Vitalik Buterin) is a local to us Canadians in Southern Ontario
http://bitcoinmagazine.com/author/vitalik-buterin/Anyway, there are some fascinating technical but easy-to-understand articles on this site and I think it's a great resource for anyone interested in Bitcoins.
Cheers!
