The Lazy Project Manager
Peter Taylor is UK PM and author of the The Lazy Project Manager book which focusses on the Art of Productive Laziness. The book makes you ask questions as a PM that you would not always think of and delivered in a enjoyable style. Peter's book is one of the inspirations for me to try an pull together my own book.

Voices on Project Management 
PMI's blog offers insights, tips, advice and personal stories from project managers in different regions and industries. The goal is to get you thinking, and spark a discussion.

After 22 years in the trenches of a lot of tough projects, Geoff Crane decided to change direction a little bit and focus on sparking ideas in the vibrant field of project management.  If you're a project manager, or even if you're one voice in the project choir, you are in a position to be truly remarkable. Without exaggerating, you have within you the capacity to change the world, just because of who and where you are!

Stuffed to the brim with years of thought-provoking articles, humour, and insightful discussions, "The Camel" is about promoting better group thinking and a way of bringing together lots of conflicting opinions around the subject of project management.
