The Altruist
I'm going to be upfront and say I don't plan to keep a regular update schedule with this. However, occasionally someone asks me a question, or I think of something that might be useful, and rather than just explaining it the once, or writing it into a wiki article which will only ever be read by a handful of people, it seemed much more sensible to write it some place where other people would be able to see it too! After all, I'm sure this stuff is going to be useful to someone. (Also, all the other cool kids have blogs).
The focus of the blog is intended to be fairly PVP centric, with the general aim of explaining to those who might be less experienced in PVP how to do the things Agony does on a day to day basis, as well as hopefully exploring some more theoretical stuff about how to become a better PVPer. A lot of the topics will probably come from questions you guys ask me during a class, or just during general conversation that I think might be useful to explore in a little more detail. I'll try to avoid overlapping with class material too much, we'll see how things go.
I'll also be really interested in hearing from people who have read this stuff, found it useful and then hopefully gone out and tried it for themselves. If you do, just remember me once you're a badass PVPer and you've got my pod in your sights!

The Altruist? Shouldn't that be a blog about logistics, then?
Sometimes, it's kinder to just blow them up!

I see a lot of people asking questions like 'how do I kill X' or 'what kind of ship is good against Y', and there isn't really a good resource that provides that information. Generally this is something we pick up gradually by experience - once you know it it becomes a huge advantage, but for the newer PVPer this is information they're sorely lacking.
The new series aims to solve that, by going through each and every ship you're likely to encounter in a solo or small gang environment and discussing both its capabilities, and any weaknesses which you can exploit.
So far I've just finished covering the frigate lineup, but ultimately I hope to expand this to all (combat) subcapitals:
T1 Frigates
T2 Frigates (Part 1)
T2 Frigates (Part 2)
Faction Frigates

Just stating that I like the format and detail you're using there - I'd post comments, but having to register for comments is a bit of a turn-off for me. So just feel assured that I like the blog - although lots of the stuff is given out here in Agony already, but it's a nice comprehension.
Wikifying the stuff would be actually nice. I just shouldn't state that, as it could mean having to do it
You don't actually have to register to post comments anymore, you should be able to do it anonymously now.
