How do you find your blogs?

I am an avid blog reader since I was turned on to Engadget et. al. about a year and a half ago. Since then my scope has spread outwards to other "mainstream" blogs like the Ruby On Rails weblog, and TechCrunch. I read these blogs and monitor their feeds regularly to stay up-to-date on technologies that are interesting to me or relate to my business. Then there are another group of blogs--generally small blogs, run for for fun not profit--that I come across by chance in google searches, or cross-linked from a larger publisher. I find these non-professional blogs are incredibly personable, interesting to read, and give an alternative view to a subject. I would love to have more access to this content, but I don't know how to find it. I've spent hours surfing Technorati, but with 52.7 million blogs in their index, I find myself totally overwhelmed. Maybe there is too much content to organize just by algorithm? The opposite approach is to let the audience organize the content. This is Digg.com's model which is awesome for the handful of digg'ed links that make it to their front page--but they often are the larger blogs and content sites that get the top spots. So what do you do to find your blogs? Is it the random button on blogspot? the popular page on Digg? or some other method?
