Well, it is that time of year again and I thought I would give out my awards for the top 5 information security blogs on the Internet.

Here they are:

1. Overcoming Bias – an excellent source of inspiration for folks seeking to understand the motivations of people in pursuit of some notion of objectivity.
2. EconLog – subprime mortgages, irrational voters, Dexter on Showtime, and health care are only a few topics covered by this blog.
3. Marginal Revolution – same as above. (Okay, I am a sucker for economics blogs, I suppose).
4. Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science – All things statistical and more.
5. Psyblog – I am going out on a limb here, since this is a new one for me. So far, I am enjoying the heck out of it.

So, there you have it.

What’s that you say? These aren’t security blogs? Sure they are, they just require a broader interpretation of what security professionals need most — guidance on economics, psychology, and statistical analysis.

But what about the more directly-related security blogs? Well, there are some interesting candidates but also plenty of room for improvement all around. We’ll get there, but we’re not there.
